Cold Weather Bat Advice?

[nanotech14]

I thought I had read somewhere that bat warmers weren't legal in some of the associations. Is that true?

Not legal in any I do believe. But like I said we use the composite bats all the time in cold weather and yes they hit the ball hard and the pitches are fast. I myself don't care if a bat breaks, they make new ones everyday and always have a spare ready to go.

What I read, back 2 years ago when I got it, is that "active" bat warmers are illegal but these "passive" ones are A-OK.

My DD has been using it on the NSA/ASA/USSSA circuits with no issue - unless we just haven't been caught yet....?

I'm pretty sure Bretman will post NFHS this is a violation.

Pyroflite is one of USSSA's biggest sponsors. The sheet we carry with ours(just in case) says that it is ASA legal too.

I know in my state of Pa. in HS the bat warmers are illegal and ASA changed their rules to no bat warmers too.

I was beginning to think I had imagined it. Friends carried the things for 2 years in ASA.

DD's coach stuck the Xeno under his jacket, might have an unhealthy attachment to the thing.

Anyone wanna buy a used Pyroflite?.......

And yet this softball world allows crow-hopping pitchers...... Argh!!!!

Back to the OP's question. I'd not use the Xeno and find another bat similar length/weight/drop for cage work. That's what I did. DD got another Xeno because the first one broke ( warm weather ). Found a CF4 similar length/weight/drop for a good price and she uses that for cage work. A lot of girls that go to the same hitting coach my DD goes to use their game day composite and there bats are still going strong.
