Banned Bats

[Linknblue]

Not talking championship play here, just weekend tourney FP or Rec SP adults. Don't do Regional/Nationals cuz I don't like the politics involved.

Typically in slowpitch I'm looking first for bats I've seen a hundred times before then I'll look for bats that I haven't seen before. Adult rec guys try and sneak in "new" non ASA bats quite often. Then I look for beat up bats. These will get tossed from time to time for cracks and rattles and grips. Then I'll look to see if I remember the banned bat list and there's a bat I think might be on that list from a visual standpoint. If I find a similar one, I'll then check model #, etc. Very few get by me.

Fastpitch, the only bats I've ever pulled were beat up and cracked or bats with rattles........the girls don't try and cheat......

Not the little girls. On the other hand, the parents...

Absolutely! FP folks routinely beat me up in the early 2's telling me altered bats was purely a SP problem that would never show it's ugly face in FP.

Yeah, right!
