What does BPF 1.20 and other association marks stand for?
BPF stands for Bat Performance Factor, which limits how fast a ball can come off a bat. Several major softball organizations have adopted the BPF standard to determine whether a bat is legal for play. Softball has several major governing bodies. These associations create their own bat safety standard to determine whether a bat is legal for use in tournament play. Most DeMarini softball bats have been certified by the ASA, USSSA, ISF and NSA.
