It is not allowed to be used in the ASA Women's Fast Pitch or JO Fast pitch (or NFHS fast pitch) since the ball they use is more lively (harder) than the 52/300 ball used in slow pitch. So it is looked at as a system, bat + ball <98MPH batted ball speed.

The 2013 bats are allowed in Men's (and Boy's JO) fastpitch. Does that combination (2013 bat + 0.47/375# ball) exceed the standard? If "yes", why is it allowed? If "no", why is it not allowed in the other fastpitch games?
