USSSA Certifications
USSSA/BPF 1.15 Certification
BPF, standing for Bat Performance Factor, is a measure of the trampoline effect of non-wood bats. In it's simplest form, the BPF standard measures how fast the ball rebounds from a stationary bat compared to how fast the ball rebounds from a solid wall.
The solid wall is assigned a BPF rating of 1. If a bat rebounds the ball 15% faster, it is given a BPF 1.15 rating, which is the standard in USSSA Baseball.
Common Organizations
In addition to the USSSA organization, it is also used by many other smaller organizations and leagues.
