F.Y.I. Rawlings Cool Flow Helmet

During the Equipment Testing and Certification Committee meeting on June 1, 2012; Rawlings Sporting Goods Company asked ASA to review the Cool Flow helmet with the snap fit face mask. After reviewing the helmet, it was determined that this helmet and facemask design met the intent of ASA Rule 3 Section 5E: OFFENSE: All adult fast pitch, modified pitch and all Junior Olympic offensive players, including the on-deck batter, and Junior Olympic players acting as coaches in the coach’s box, must properly wear double ear flap NOCSAE approved batting helmets. All Junior Olympic batting helmets shall be equipped with chin straps. All Junior Olympic Fast Pitch batting helmets shall be equipped with a securely fastened NOCSAE approved face mask/guard. Batting helmets that are broken, cracked, dented, or that have been illegally altered are prohibited from use.

The question was, “Is the face mask securely fastened?" The answer is “yes.” Based on the discussions, the Rawlings Cool Flow Batting Helmet with the snap fit face mask is approved for use in ASA Championship Play as long as both the mask and the helmet have the NOCSAE Certification approval on them. Please note the NOCSAE approval on the mask is on the inside of the mask. The model numbers are: PL1, PL1W, PLDLX, UBH, CFBH, CFBHM, CFEX, CFMAT, and CFHL
