U-Trip Balls

[Dukat]

I do not call USSSA but my DD plays 14U U-Trip SP ball and I was looking over the current rule book and tell me if I am wrong but it appears that you can use an 11" COR .47 Comp 525 ball. I know in ASA/NFHS which I do call it is 11" COR .44 Comp 375. Am I reading this right?

Assuming you can read, I would say that you are reading in correctly Up until last year, I think, COR .47/525 balls were legal in FED and ASA. I fuess U-trip is just a little behind the current thinking,

Checked out the rule book online and it appears that this is in fact the case until next year.

Not trying to be smart-a**, but none of you can read.

Straight from the UTrip site, and if any printed book says
different, the rules posted on Website overrule.

Sec. 4. The official ball to be used shall have raised seams and shall be of spherical design with a smooth surface. The center or core of the ball shall be of a material and design traditionally used to make softballs, or of other material, or design, approved by the USSSA. The cover shall be of horsehide, cowhide, or other material approved by USSSA and shall be cemented to the core and stitched with cotton, linen, or nylon or any other material approved by USSSA. A multiple layer core design ball or a multiple material core design ball may be approved in the sole discretion of the USSSA on a case-by-case basis. The stitch color must be blue. The internal composition of the core and the material of the cover must be clearly printed on the ball and the words "Official Fast Pitch Softball" must be clearly printed

on the ball. FAST PITCH (12") OPTIC YELLOW COVER ONLY -BLUE STITCH Ball must have "USSSA FAST PITCH", "47 MAX COR, 375# MAX COMPRESSION" in 1/8" minimum letters and the USSSA logo in at least 1-1/8" diameter. (Lettering and logo in blue)

Compression: 330 +/- 45#

COR: 46.25 +/- 0.75

Circumference: 12 +/- 1/8"

Weight: 6.6 +/- 0.30 oz.

11" ball is used in 10U

Hope this helps,

Glen,

I clearly stated in my original post she plays 14U SP (Slow Pitch) ball. Why would she want a Fast Pitch ball for Slow Pitch? Who can't read now

Oh yeah Glen...

Had I gone to the FP rule book I think that I would have read the same thing!
