For convenience, the ASA website has a listing of bats that do not pass the ASA 2004 bat standard.
2004 and Beyond Approved Bats (Updated:8/14/2007)

Manufacturers continue to submit additional bat models for testing, and the ASA will update this list as test results become available.
The ASA periodically and randomly tests samples of bat models bearing the ASA approved certification mark to verify compliance with the ASA bat performance standards. Below are links for press releases announcing results of compliance testing as well as FAQ's regarding bat models withdrawn from ASA Championship play until further notice. The "ASA Banned Bats" link below contains the most up-to-date listing of bat models withdrawn from ASA Championship play.
