Looking for clarification on the new softball compression rules that go into effect for the 2025 season.
The rules state that the ball will now have a compression of 325 pounds with a plus-minutes of 50 (275-375).
Does that mean that my stockpile of balls with 375 printed on them are still usable? Or does that mean the balls have to have 325 printed, but they could be +/- 50 pounds in either direction?
Almost all the NFHS-stamped balls I can find still say Max 375 on them.
