Why outlaw bats?

[crumii]

Interesting. I would have guessed these guys (ASA and manufacturers) were in cahoots with each other. My first experience with the "hot" bats was from back in the early 90's with the thin-wall bats like TPS Ritch's Superior. This was a great bat, but by the end of the season, it was triangular instead of round, and had to be discarded. My first composite bat (Synergy) was purchased before last season (2003), and although I heard there was a break-in period with these bats, I didn't know it would get hotter and maintain its punch much beyond one season. It's nice to know the bats are more durable...just too bad they can only be used in practice after the first season. What will the physicists come up with next?

Thanks for the clarification.
