Bulldog8 Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 I just heard that composite bats cannot be used for Babe Ruth unless they -3 drop or all alloy barell at any drop. I just purchased a new Demarini CF4 23/31 all composite (-8 drop), which is only good fro USSSA and Nations. Just wanted to let everyone know.By the way, if you want a good deal on a new CF4 send me a message
Guest Yo Gabba Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Actually it is not good in Nations either, all composites have to be a drop 10 or heavier

MoFo Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 Correct a drop 8 would be legal in Nations where as a drop 11 would not. I can see where this would be confussing. The drop is determined by the length of the bat minus the weight so a 30 inch 20 oz bat would be a drop 10. A 30 inch 22oz bat would be a drop 8 (2oz heavier)
Bulldog8 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Report Posted February 10, 2011 You are correct, -8 is legal, -10.5 or greater is not. Any of you need a bat let me know, make you a real good deal.... purchased online at baseball express.
SWB Posted February 10, 2011 Report Posted February 10, 2011 - 8 is legal in Nations if 13U and below. 14U has to be -5 or heavier. see below *** 7. In 14U bats will be restricted to a -5 ratio or heavier. (The weight of the bat in ouncesas compared to it’s length in inches, must be no greater than 5).Weight restrictions are HIGHLY recommended for fall 2010, the restrictions willbecome mandatory Jan 1, 2011.8. For age divisions 13U and below, there are no bat size restrictions.9. High school divisions must use NFHS (National Federation of State High SchoolAssociations) bat limitations for size, weight and performance. ***
walkoff55 Posted March 31, 2011 Report Posted March 31, 2011 just wondering if we are seeing injuries across the country due to these so call hot, lighter bats. does anyone out there have any stats on this? There is no doubt that the ball comes off of the bat faster just wondering if we are see more injuries due to bat weight and composite. Any answers.
