According to ASA rules, what is the least legal weight on a slow pitch softball bat?

I'm not sure that the ASA mandates a specific weight. To be legal however, the bat must appear on the ASA's list of approved equipment and must bear the ASA certification mark.\n\nbat manufacturers are required to test their bats under a standard test method published by the American Society for Testing and Materials (www.astm.org). The standard contract generally allows a bat to be certified under the ASA 2000 Bat Performance Standard if its batted ball speed, when measured according to the ASTM F1890 standard test method, does not exceed 125 feet per second. \n\nBeginning on January 1, 2004, a bat can be certified under the ASA 2004 Bat Performance Standard if its batted ball speed, when measured according to the ASTM F2219 standard test method as approved for submittal to ballot, does not exceed 98 mph.

The Davy Crockett warhead( W54 ) with a weight of only 51 lb (23 kg) was the smallest and lightest nuclear weapon ever deployed by the U.S. military in 1961. This W54 has been said to be suitable as "suitcase bags" \n\nPresently, The Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is half the weight of the smallest bomb the Air Force uses today,500-pound Mark 82. It uses a 250 pound-class warhead that has demonstrated penetration of more than 6 feet of reinforced concrete. The weapon was flown into combat for the first time last Oct. 5, 2006 by members of the 494th Expeditionary Fighter Squadron unit deployed to the Southwest Asia area of operations. SDB is currently the smallest guided bomb in the Air Force.☺

Easton made a bat called the Z-core several years ago...there were -5s and -8s...but i think that was before the rule changes only allowed the use of -3s in college and high school...after the rule change i think easton changed the model name to something else

Not All Softballs are harder.\nIt's the new material they're made from and the compression of the center core.\nSoftballs are measured by core rating and compression.\nCore are rated from 40 core to 50 core\ncompression is rated 300 compression(restricted flite) to 525 compression (Hot and long flite).\nBaseballs are the same way you have live core and dead core.\nWhen see a lot of Home Runs hit in a season they're using a live core. When the Home Runs are lower they're using a dead core.\nIn the Hone Runs Derby they have during the All Star Game. Those balls are hot, along with their bats.\nSame way when you get to batting practice and see the guys hit a lot of Home Runs those balls are hot to put a show on for the fans.\nIn Softball you have different associations ASA,NSA. ISP, USSSA,Super League(The big boys of softball).\nThe bats have hotter too. Also the prices reaching up to and a past $400.00 per bat.\nAll the different materials these softball bats are made of is crazy.\nIt has taken the game to a crazy level(and somewhat dangerous for the players the way the ball comes off the bats.\nIt has taken the fun out of the game when there were wooden bats and the first Alumiunm bats came out.After 1986 the bat market got crazy.\nSame way with the hotter softballs . Red Dot, Steele. Rocket Ball. Now the balls are hotter and some are getting hotter to match the bats.Then other ways they make the balls hotter(in the microwave & freezing(or cooling what some call it)the softballs). Anything to get that edge rather than using their abilities.\nI've seen guys weighing 135 pounds hitting the balls 350' with no trouble with the bats and balls out there.\nIf you need anyother information you can go to different softball websites and check out the band bats and balls(because how hot they are).\nwww.asasoftball.com, USSSA.com\nI hope this help and answered your question.

The bases are 60' apart in most sanctions including HS and college. The pitchers plate is 40' from home in most HS sanctions, 43' in college and Gold play, as well as Florida HS and a couple other states this year.\n\nFor slow pitch, the bases are 65'

You put it on the grip part of the handle of the bat and no it is not illegal as long as does not extend further than 18 IN up the handle (see the rule at the bottom of my answer).\n\nIf you are referring to the George Brett incident, at that time it was illegal to have pine tar so far up your bat.  The rule stemmed from a commissioner many years ago wanting to save balls from getting pine tar on them.  After the George Brett ejection the commissioner looked into the rule and rewrote it adding the note at the end of the rule.\n\nRule 1.10\n(c) The bat handle, for not more than 18 inches from its end, may be covered or treated with any material or substance to improve the grip. Any such material or substance, which extends past the 18 inch limitation, shall cause the bat to be removed from the game.\nNOTE: If the umpire discovers that the bat does not conform to (c) above until a time during or after which the bat has been used in play, it shall not be grounds for declaring the batter out, or ejected from the game.

It wouldnt vary from any other form of softball/baseball.\n\nKeep your weight back\nback elbow up\nwhen the pitcher is about to release the ball begin to move the weight forward\nthe butt end of the bat should follow through towards the pitcher, leading the hands\nkeep your head down, you want to watch the ball hit the bat\npivit your back foot, somtimes called "squashing the bug"\nfollow the swing all the way through

I'm a junior in high school and we've won the 6A Kansas State Softball Championship the past 3 years in a row and I'm also on a traveling team.  It depends on how old you are.  If you're below the ago of 11 a regular bat and glove should do fine.  You should practice taking grounders and go to the batting cages to get in some hitting practice.  If you're older you should get a good glove and bat.  The glove should fit you but it doesn't matter on the quality of it so long as its nto going to fall apart.  I myself had used the same glove since third grade until last summer.  For the bat, I would recommend a Louisville Catalyst or Easton Synergy.  Make sure that you get a bat that is light/heavy and long/short enough for you.  Brush up on the rules as well.  All players should have cleats, regardless of age.

I'm pretty sure there's no rule regarding this.\n\nThere are, however, rules on the composition of the bat, and what types of wood are legal.\n\nUsing a longer bat only helps a hitter with plate-coverage.  After a certain point, it just slows the progression of the bathead through the strikezone, which would make it MUCH harder to hit, and impossible to hit for any power.

It is the difference between the length and the weight of the bat.  For example a 33 inch bat with a weight of 30 ounces has a drop of -3.

The size and weight of the ball effects the aerodynamics...\n\nAlso, until recently, baseball was exclusive to younger males, and softball was for both genders, of all ages, as well as co-ed participation...
