USA vs USSSA Slowpitch Bats: What's the Difference?
While both certifications are common in slowpitch softball, they serve different purposes. USA Softball certified bats (ASA) have stricter performance standards with lower BPF (Bat Performance Factor) ratings, typically 1.20. USSSA slowpitch bats allow for higher performance standards. Always check your league's regulations before purchasing. Many players keep both certifications in their bat bag for different tournament requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does USA Softball certification mean?
USA Softball certification (formerly ASA) means the bat has been tested and approved by USA Softball, the national governing body. These bats meet specific performance standards that are legal for USA Softball sanctioned leagues and tournaments. Look for the official USA Softball stamp on the bat.
Can I use a USA certified bat in USSSA leagues?
Generally, no. USSSA leagues typically require USSSA certified bats. However, some leagues allow dual-stamp bats that carry both certifications. Always verify your specific league's bat requirements before purchasing. We carry both USA certified bats and USSSA certified bats.
What's the difference between ASA and USA Softball?
USA Softball is the new name for ASA (Amateur Softball Association). The organization rebranded in 2017, but the certification standards remain the same. Bats marked with either "ASA" or "USA Softball" stamps are approved for USA Softball play. The terms are interchangeable.
