2015 DC41 vs 2019 Reissue

[Hiltz]

Recently picked up a nice used black and white DC41, black knob.

Is there a way to tell if it's a 2015 or the reissue that Miken released in 2019 or 2020? Looked online, both models seem to share the same model# (BTGDCU).
Mine's a 30oz if that makes any difference. Seems a lot of old listings for the 2019 reissue only offer 26, 27, and 28oz.

The 2015 had a red metal knob, the reissue has a black plastic knob. I have a 30 oz reissue too. I loved the reissue, but it definitely felt different than the original.

From the limited research I did, there was the OG red knob in 2015, the black knob "reissue" in 2016, then in 2019 or 2020 after 2-3 years of different paint schemes there was a return to the original look with a true reissue. For whatever reason, Miken used the same model name for the 2016 and 2019/2020 bats.

I had 4 DC41 black and white OG's. The red knob one was a great bat, but the bat broke around the handle on 2 of them. I tried to reattach, but never worked. Also, the red knob was huge......great bat but terrible knob.

Yeah, a very soft-hitting buddy still has his OG red knob, although it's worn down to bare aluminum. It's like a doorknob, reminds me of the knobs on the old Mizuno Techfire/Crush.

One of my favorite bats with the exception of the huge red knob.
