New Bat Rule in Place Immediately

This might help or confuse the issue even more.

I received an email from the NFHS saying the new bat guidelines are in place immediately instead of later. They are overriding the individual states' decisions. The rule says that all composite bats are outlawed, but does not specify what is a composite bat. I talked to one sporting goods rep who is also an umpire, and he didn't even know exactly what it meant. Is a composite bat any "two piece" bat? The NFHS needs to clarify this soon. People will want to order bats in the offseason when they are cheaper, and they need to be able to fully understand what they can buy. A list of approved bats would be helpful. I'm sure the bat companies aren't happy about this.

There is an "Approved Bat List" on the TSSAA web site.

Try that site; it is updated thru January 2011.

Wonder how long it will take for someone to come out with a list of approved bats for 2011? It's pretty obvious you can't listen to the people who are selling the bats!!

As I stated in an earlier reply, got to www.tssaa.org

There is a link to approved (legal) bats-even has pictures/lengths/weights on it I believe.
