I know the standard is now BBCOR bats but I keep seeing on the list bats with the BESR rating that have also been tested and now are allowed. Anyone else having issues and would bringing the list of approved bats to each game accomplish anything? Artcle: [i]NFHS Bat Ban (1.28) Composite-barreled baseball bats will not be allowed in the 2010/11 season of high school baseball. The National Federation of State High School Associations issued the moratorium on the use of composite-barreled baseball bats last summer. It applies to all baseball bats with composite barrels, with some exceptions (listed below). Bats with aluminum, alloy or wood barrels will still be allowed, as will bats with composite tapers and/or handles. The NFHS has banned composite-barreled baseball bats in high school competition Composite bats are designed to play similar to wooden and aluminum bats. However, through normal usage, composite-barreled bats can fall out of compliance with the NFHS’s bat performance standard (the BESR). The ban will remain in effect until Jan. 1, 2012, when the NFHS adopts the BBCOR bat performance standard. For more info on that, click here.
