Sticky Stuff

[default]

Dicks is selling a product called 'Ultra-grip' Which is used to make things 'sticky' It is recommended for use on hands, gloves etc..... to enhance grip.

It could be very useful in the upcoming spring season for all those wet balls and bad conditions.

Is there any rule either forbidding its use or restricting its use in softball?

There is a product that is called Gorilla Gold that is ASA approved for pitchers. I am not sure about the other stuff.

2009 ASA Rules Approves Gorilla Gold

for Softball Pitchers



Resin-based grip enhancer can be kept in pocket

Lewiston, ID (March 15, 2009) –The Amateur Softball Association (ASA) 2009 Rule Book has included Gorilla Gold, the world’s leading producer and marketer of resin-tackified grip towels, as the only approved drying agent allowed in a pitcher’s pocket.

The new ruling aligns the ASA with NCAA Softball, which has allowed pitchers to use Gorilla Gold for the past four years.

The new ASA ruling states: “Rule 6 Section 6 A Fast Pitch: an Approved manufactured drying agent that is included on the list published by the ASA, may be used by the pitcher. The Resin must be left on the ground and the approved drying agent in the pitcher’s pocket. Effect: If any other substance is found in the pitcher’s pocket the pitcher shall be ejected.”

“Some drying agents are resin and need to submitted to ASA for approval before they can be used by the pitcher. Currently only Gorilla Gold is approved.”

Dead on Strohbro - the only grip product allowed by ASA is the Gorilla Gold - beside Rosin "Powder" bags. It really comes in handy down here. I actually carry a copy of that ASA ruling in my team book incase the umpires don't know the rule.

I went to the ASA website but couldn't find the list. Can you give me a link.
Checking out the Gorilla Gold product.
Does the Gorilla Gold Product really help your players?
Do you have all of them use it or just the pitcher?
If ASA permits it will the other sanctioning bodies allow it (including high school)?


If Ultra-grip is used in the dugout and not on the field how could that be ruled illegal? It leaves no residue on the hands to go to the ball.
Thanks for the help.
