well if ur using -3 bats then they have to have a 3 number difference between the length and width and have to be BESR certified. This means that the Bat Exit Speed Ratio of the ball coming off the ball cant b above a certain mph, i think it is 97 mph. If the bat has a BESR sticker on it and is -3 its good
in the USA yes, in Australia no, in australia it will be labelled on the bats if you are allowed to use that particular bat in middle school.
No, BBCOR bats are required for high school baseball. BBCOR stands for "Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution."
Yes they do. All Bats need to be besr certified for high school baseball.
Yes, onlyBBCOR certified bats will be used in the 2012 baseball season In high school. However, the BBCOR bats are terrible. I prefer you save your money and buy a wood bat.
It is basically an original aluminim/metal bat that has no composite pieces in it or half composite pieces. Now for little leauge, babe ruth, and highschool BBcor bats must be used, although in AAU which is more competitve and considered travel baseball you can use composite bats

You can use Big barrel bats in middle school ball.
The Henrico county schools in the Richmond VA area require -3 bats. These kids are 6th, 7th and 8th graders.

Yes, -3 bats (which signifies the oz compared to length of bat. ie 33inch 30oz bat is -3) These bats must now adhere to the bbcor rules on bat performance. Best bbcor bats on market are the Akadema Apocalypse, Rawlings 5150 and Easton Stealth.
a kid got killed in Georgia with a BESR composite bat. they are trying to prevent that from happening again so BBCOR batshave a lot less pop and "trampoline affect". or they don't jump off the barrel like BESR bats
