I don't trust anything until I see it. Could it happen, yes. But I would never say it WILL then be responsible for
people that play usssa buying the bat and it not happening.
But I don't see WHY it wouldn't have the stamp now if usssa was going to allow it. Maybe it takes
usssa longer to test and allow...who knows.

Again, simply asking questions and trying to understand how this industry works. We all spend considerable $$ on this sport and I've bought a bunch of Easton's over the years (the last couple from you). In many industry's there is some type of council that involves the trade organizations, service providers, product manufacturers, etc. that discuss things such as this that impact the industry as a whole. I'm not taking anything personal or getting upset at any individual manufacturer over this and I think if you read my posts you'd see I was wondering about the associations role in this type of issue as well.
Peace out, relax and have a good day.

I wasn't mad either, was trying to just let you know none of this is a "slight" on any association that people play or
the players of those associations.
The same thoughts were said when sp went to separate bats, but they had to because ASA allowed different bats
that hit THEIR ball better. If you didn't buy an ASA specific bat, you were swinging a below performance bat compared to
the ones that were ASA only bats.
I guess I'm more used to this because sp has had association specific bats for quite some time because of the different standards. So not
much of an shock to me. Problem is, the associations make their own rules. You aren't going to have anybody tell
ASA or USSSA they have to do anything or change anything, just not gonna happen. They each run their assoc the way they want.
Again, usssa could turn around and allow the bat later. It could only require some greasing of the
usssa palms to allow the bat...hahaha. Now the problem comes in...we all know umps. This bat doesn't have
the stamp. You see where I'm going with this.

This is the problem with being addicted to bats. I want to get one at the June date but I can see them coming out with the same bat with all stamps next fall. But if I wait until then it will probably just stay ASA stamped and I'll be right back on the fence about buying one. #softballdadproblems

You're not helping Greg...
In all honesty, I'm just trying to avoid buying one now and then having to buy another if it gets the USSSA stamp later. I know umps will hassle DD if the proper stamps aren't there.

I figure buy one now, skip the sept release as not much softball played up here yet, then buy the ghost 2 in the spring hahahahahahaha
