Combat's Lady Virus Added to ASA Non-Approved List

Here's a list of the approved bats. Best thing to do is use the model number. The ASA doesn't differentiate between fast or slow pitch.

Combat B1 98
Combat B1FP1
Combat B1SP2
Combat B1SP2 Signature Series
Combat C4FP1
Combat C4SP1
Combat SX3SP2 SX3 Censored
Combat TSP1 Throttle
Combat VIRFP1 Virus FP
Combat VIRSP2 Combat Anti-Virus

Thanks Hanger4,now I don't have to go bat shopping.

 

The Virus isn't banned yet. I expect it will have the same fate!

Team Combat

So does this mean that "Team Combat" is now "Team No-Bat"??

 

Thank you, glad to be here. If Combat has other bats available that can be used in ASA play, I would imagine that they would furnish their teams with them. I would hope so anyway.

 

The Combat website seems to be saying that if you have an LV they will replace it with an ASA approved bat at no cost.At least they stand behind their product.They could take a too bad so sad attitude.

.....my mistake...I meant Marlinfan1, says...now thats a good one Guru!

 

I talked w/a combat representative tonight. He called me, which I thought was exceptional customer service. I purchased the Lady Virus for my daughter in May of 07. We have had a problem w/the end cap coming out. Combat replaced the bat. Just rcv'd replacement in September. That bat did the same thing. Combat again is replacing her bat. The bat (Lady Virus) was out of stock. It seems that the Men Softballers were using it. They liked the distance they got out of the ball w/ this bat. Like anything else, one thing leads to another. A lot of talk and bam, the bat is re-examined, only this time it fails ASA standards.

My daughter liked the way the bat felt in the swing. The balance and ease in the swing. Now she is going to try the Combat Fastpitch bat. I think it is blue w/pink. Not on the banned list as of yet.

Sorry to go on and on. Just wanted to let people know how Combat is willing to go the extra mile w/customer service.

Also would love for the ASA to test some of the Lady Virus bats that have been used for the past six months, just to see if results would be the same.
