Like the guy above me, I made the mistake of ordering a bat from here. for starters I didn’t receive the bat depicted on the website but a newer model. second problem i noticed the same epoxy from the cap on the barrel as well as a small crack in the barrel, i wrote the«owner» and he said it was just a blemish in the paint so i used it and that crack became ridiculously large. i wrote once again and he said if the bat stops performing he would replace it at his expense. well the next week it did such, i wrote him and he acted like he was going to replace it but it has now been 3 weeks since the last email he sent me. still hoping to hear back about this. but i myself will never do business here again and would recommend the same for anyone.
