Follow the menus for approved and non approved bats. Notice there have been a few added to the non approved list that were not there previous. The only fastpitch bat I saw added was the Combat Lady Virus.

Heard that Combat had some bats that were going to be added to approved list! This information came from a college coach that uses them!

 

thanks guys! Just thought this could be helpful!

 

Below are the bats that are on the approved list from Combat.

Maybe they are going to introduce something to replace the Lady Virus. Some of the listed bats are slow pitch bats.

 

Thanks for bringing the subject up.

This was good timing with school ball starting up. I have read that NFHS rules states that you are required to have a updated list showing that all bats used by your team are on the approved list. I haven't seen this enforced but we are going to be prepared just in case.

 

COMBAT PULLS LADY VIRUS

Attention:

We have been asked by Combat to pull the Lady Virus from the Approved list and as of today, it will be added to the Non-Approved list. Below is the Recall letter on Combats web page.

Thanks

LADY VIRUS VIRSP3 RECALL ALERT

THE LADY VIRUS VIRSP3 IS BEING RECALLED BY COMBAT AND WE ASK THAT ALL MAJOR ASSOCIATIONS REMOVE THIS MODEL FROM THEIR APPROVED BAT LISTS.

It has been brought to our attention that following the Lady Virus being placed on the ASA non approved list that some of the Lady Virus bats out in the field are being altered by way of re-painting and/or re-decaling and attempts are being made to use for play in games. We do not want to contribute to this problem therefore to avoid these altered bats being used during play and potentially not meeting the different major association standards we will be requesting that all Lady Virus bats be recalled and sent back to us for replacement for any Combat of their choice.
We are also asking that all major associations remove the Lady Virus model VIRSP3 from their approved bat list immediately.
We are disappointed with this situation and take this very seriously. We regret having to remove these bats from play but it is in the games best interest before any more alterations are made.
Our dedication to the sport and our partnerships with the associations is very important and as a grassroots company we intend to ensure each and every one of our dealers and end user players are completely satisfied with the outcome of this unfortunate circumstance.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers for their understanding and continued support.

Combat Baseball Inc.
