...is there even a clean cyclist anymore?
I have been around bats and the game for many, many years...so I know all about what goes/went on and probably more things that people don't know of...haha. The painting thing was rare.
There is a reason why testing was started. Too bad certain associations that preach safety, don't mandate testing. A lot of upper level games are now bucket bat games though.
I think there are many sports with just as much going on...is there even a clean cyclist anymore?

I am proud to say not everyone was doing it, because they were not allowed on my teams bench.
How do you know there wasn't any? Problem was for a long time...everybody thought everybody else was doing it...but never anybody on their team...haha.
I have also learned that the bigger the mouth accusing, was usually doing it themselves. They just thought by blaming every person that hit a ball
hard, made people overlook them
But all in all, was it very rampant...yes. Years back, it was brutal. Balls have done a lot to curb it. The new ASA bats stock, hit the 52/300 better than altered bats. And an Ultra will not pass
compression. So a lot of things have done well to help. USSSA, is another animal. They have done nothing to curb. Where I play, the tourney director tests every
single tourney and you get a coded sticker if passes. When I travel to play somewhere else, they don't care about testing and actually are against it because they don't wanna
sacrifice entrance fees by teams that may drop because they cant use their light sabers. heck, their own worlds tourney they don't test...haha.
But I digress...trying not to get this too far off topic.
Yes, you can use sp bats...hahahaha. There back on now
We considered getting a slowpitch bat for DD. She swings a 34/26 Xeno and it swings a bit light for her but we didn't want to battle with the umpires. She demo'd one during a tournament (all the correct stamps) and kept getting questioned by blue and then they had to talk to the tourney director and head umpire. It was a hassle...
For slowpitch with grown adults, I just think they should go to all wood. One of our local leagues did that. Actually brings some competition back into the game instead of just a home run fest.
As for my DD and her first tournament, no one even questioned the bats. Of course it was a USSSA tourney and I saw a girl using a ghost, no one questioned her either.
