NFHS Bat Rules

[WestMichBlue]

"LS doesn't use the length/weight as part of their model number"

True. But the bat is printed "Model TPSFP3427" That can be interpreted as Tournament Player Series, Fast Pitch, 34", 27 oz.

The TPSFP was manufactured through 2001, and I can assume that those bats built in 2000/2001 carried the ASA 2000 Cert Mark. The TPSFP is on the 2003 ASA approved list, and on other lists (USSSA, NSA). But it is NOT on the ASA 2004 list. (Why not? Error?) My bat was built before 2000, but later models were legal, so this one also should be.

Believe me, it is not a hi-tech bat. Put it in the spring garage sale and be lucky to get ten bucks. Using the ASA guideline, the bat should could be legal using "sole opinion and discretion of the umpire."

Now I am trying to discover why I do not have that same authority in a NFHS game.
