Thanks for helping SoCal...I wasn't talking only FP. Also, 10 years ago, there wasn't the mass quantity of bats that come out like today. Each manufacturer didn't make like they do now. Lets take SP for example...each company made a usssa and asa bat once a year...that was it. So now if people bought a bat for the 2000 standard, then a couple years later you "only" ban 15 (only guessing a number) bats. Its a huge percentage. Now companies make a balanced, maxload, signature models, exclusives...and they do it twice a year basically.
I really think you assume I am sticking up for usssa. This usssa ban hurt me more than anybody on this board I will bet and I was pissed at the time I heard it. But nobody can do anything about bat changes when they happen. You can only deal with it whichever way you see fit (not play or buy a new bat and play). I see that you hate usssa and that's fine. But some do play it and will have to adjust equipment. I knew a ton of guys saying they are done buying bats and they just wont play usssa. But in the end, those same guys bought bats to keep playing because they had to if they wanted to play.
So, if ASA does the same thing down the road...are you going to buy new bats or are you going to do a self imposed boycott?
My guess is you will buy a new bat because you have to.
