Ive heard some manufacturers of banned bats talking about fixing the bats so that they comply with the ASA Bat Performance Standard and putting an ASA recertification mark on them. Can you confirm this?
When a bat model containing the ASA 2000 certification mark is found out of compliance with the ASA Bat Performance Standard, the manufacturer has the option to cure the problem subject to ASAs approval of the cure method. Once ASA approves the cure method, the manufacturer will cure the problem and cause the non-complying bat models to come into compliance. Those retrofitted bats will then be authorized to bear the ASA recertification mark, which is shown on the ASA Banned Bats link in the Certified Equipment section of the ASA Website, www.asasoftball.com.
