Any bat on this list is regarded as non linear which basically means there is some sort of performance insert or air gap technology within the barrel.

Find a new league. Even if non-lins are banned, there's a lot of stupid hot linear bats out there that'll perform just as well as the non-lins. Your league just showed it knows absolutely nothing about the sport and I wouldn't give them my dollars to not play with a bat that is legal in every major tournament in the world.

I dug it out today. I am glad I didn't post it for sale of a few weeks ago. Problem is that it is a 30 oz and a little heavy to swing. Have to work out with it this week to see if I need to drop down to a 28.

Yes sir I know, thats what I am saying. If this happen around here I wanna make sure I have something to swing. They are weird enough around here in Senior Leagues. A couple leagues are single wall one piece only, one has to have an ASA stamp. In the composite league, we play for free at BLD but, you have to use ASA bats until your 70. Wish I could at least use a USSA bat in the composite league and two piece in the single wall,

Basically it is the only act in town especially for us older players. Your right on the bats just have to start doing some research to find them.

Might be interested. I am working out with my 30 this week. My 30 is pretty well worn but still solid
Curious, does your league allow senior bats and do you hit .44cor balls? If yes, this makes the non linear ban even stranger to me

No Senior bats and we use the 52/300 ball.

Looks like there will be a delay with their new bat shipments

2. 1st legitimate reason for a delay from this company

If you're so sensitive you can't handle a video because it may have an ad or two of a store that people probably aren't shopping at because SBF has the best or the same prices then hooooolllllyyyyy ****tttttt.
Demarini future is also a super fire stick. Doesn't swing like most whippy demarini's either. Absolutely loved that bat.

HA HA!
But they removed the verbiage that ALL Monstas are banned. There are still about 14 models that are Linear (the baby blue 14 Monsta LC being the top choice)
