With the new USSSA testing laboratory finally up and running, in an actual scientific lab (not a room at New York University like the old USSSA lab), DeMarini’s once dominant advantage over its competitors now may be gone?
Where previously one bat maker might be able to get a hotter bat approved by the now retired professor at NYU than another bat maker, the new USSSA lab brings a level playing field to all bat makers with use of stricter, more precise test procedures and processes.
Gone are the days of submitting a hot bat for testing and hoping it gets approved – from now on, the new USSSA lab makes all things equal to all bat makers. The days of the DeMarini Zen being the hottest USSSA bat are now over? You tell us! Please comment below and let us know if your field testing matches up with ours.
