Yes it is my pic. Yes we review bats and I put a good bit of swings on them when we film them to get a pretty good gauge of performance. I didn't expect it to be leaked out before my review.
We have used the same bp mix of balls for the past few seasons. Classic M's, 44/400 Icons, 44/400 WSL's, Evil Rockets, Evil 52 Lites, Worth Maxspeeds, and a few ASA 44/375s. Same balls we use on every review. We swung this in 70 degree weather.
Just because my bat broke, doesn't mean any company "cut corners". It was very good from the wrapper and thats ok in this day of age with bats and target markets not wanting to put a lot of bp time in. LS has always had great CS to me and I have no problem using my return for this.
I bought the Genesis for two reasons. 1) they're donating a portion to Autism Speaks (Im a teacher and have had numerous AU students in my years and they're incredible people) 2) nostalgia from the original Genesis.
I guess I will have to start watermarking my pics when I send them through FB
FYI, my review and video will be uploaded tomorrow
