Apparently their product is already ASA approved, or else that is what they are leading us to believe. According to the website, you can order a bat that is already approved, and just have it finished however you would like. According to rule 3:1:A-I, if this is the way the bat appears at the point of manufacture, and if it is not on the banned bat list, then this is a perfectly acceptable bat.
