At least one online seller indicated that the bat may have failed the more recent compression tests that doomed some other bats. All I know is that Easton got dinged on what was probably the best selling size and weight in their high end USA space, causing parents, kids, coaches and leagues to scurry last weekend.
The Easton Ghost is currently the benchmark for every fastpitch softball bat on the field of play. Easton advanced the game with the original fastpitch Ghost bat, and they continue to push the envelope for the 2020 season and beyond.
For safety reasons, the League limits the use of bats with composite exterior barrels to Open B, CC, Open C only. Titanium bats and all bats that appear on the ASA's official list of banned bats are illegal in all divisions.
Any bat that appears on the USA Softball Approved Bat List and has an ASA 2000 or 2004 certification stamp will also be accepted for play at a Softball Canada event. The bat must meet the compression standards outlined by the certifying organization and may be tested to ensure they are in the proper range.
