100 MPH Grandfathered Bats

Beginning January 1, 2008, no 100 MPH bats will be legal in ASA play. These 100 MPH bats were originally grandfathered in 2003 when the ASA announced it was changing its bat testing standards. All bats manufactured after June 2004 had to meet the 98 MPH standard. The following bats were grandfathered and allowed in ASA play even though they did not meet the new testing standard:

Easton Synergy2
Miken Freak
Louisville SB304 Response XXL Balanced
Louisville SB404 Response XXL End Load
Worth XPST4 Max PST
Worth WWSCA Wicked Composite Shell
Worth SBWKA Wicked Aluminum Shell

Be careful when buying one of these bats as you will only get to use them for 2007 under ASA rules.
