I have an older version of one of the models the ASA has banned. Does the ASA announcement apply to my bat even though it doesnt bear the ASA 2000 certification mark?
Yes. The ASA announcement applies to all bats of the models that have been withdrawn from ASA Championship play, regardless of when the bat was manufactured (i.e. a 1998 version), and regardless of whether the bat bears the ASA 2000 certification mark. There is no practical way for an umpire or tournament official to tell the difference between bats of the same model based solely on graphic changes. Any bat of a model withdrawn from ASA Championship play must be retrofitted and contain the ASA recertification mark before it will be authorized for use again in ASA Championship play. Please visit the respective manufacturers website for details on their ASA-approved retrofit procedure for these bats.
