The Amateur Softball Association of America (ASA) is the National Governing
Body of Softball in the United States. As part of the ASA Bat Testing and Certification
Program, bats submitted for testing are issued an ASA certification mark if
the model satisfies the ASA Bat Performance Standard. ASA routinely and randomly
audits compliance with the ASA Bat Performance Standard by testing samples of
certified bats. In addition, ASA takes efforts to ensure that the ASA certification
mark is not being used on bats that are not certified. Until further notice
otherwise, bats of the following models containing an ASA certification mark
are no longer allowed in ASA Championship Play unless they contain the following
ASA recertification mark:
