Need help an a bat issue
In our league last weekend a bat from mizuno that was bought in Japan came up. Unfortunately my Japanese is not good enough to understand anything about the bats composure.

Maybe anyone here knows the bat and can help!
It is a mizuno "Beyond Max"

It is not one the bats shown there but comes out of the "Buw League" Series.

I need to know if it would be legal under ISF rules, but further information about it's composure and it's legal status for ASA play might be helpful.
I don't need an information about the available lists, but hints why it would be legal or illegal.

Has anyone seen a bat like that before?

Thanks for your help!

Raoul

It is not legal for use in ASA.

Don't know about ISF, though.

I haven't decided if I should call it from the dugout or the outfield. Apparently, both have really great views!

Screw green, it ain't easy being blue!

I won't be coming here that much anymore. I might check in now and again.

Below is the ASA Certified Equipment site and the two acceptable ASA bat certification marks.

Amateur Softball Association of America


If the bat does not have one of these stamps, and I don't believe it does, it is not approved for use in ASA.

This is a list of Mizuno bats approved for ISF play:
