Some people just haven't been around long enough. JPG has been occaisionally posting that image basically since when the Legends ran out. It's a homemade mockup.
Here's hoping! They need to reissue the j2u as well.
The j3u was completely different than the j2u. That thing had a lot more EL than the j2u.
And the barrel felt like doo-doo compared to the j2u. Here is a truth bomb for many of you guys that think the J3u performs horribly. I BP'd my J3u over the winter at the local cages that have a radar gun, and it was only SLIGHTLY behind my CL22. By slightly I mean that I get almost 100 mph ball speed with my CL22's and got the J3u up to 94-96. I still firmly believe that the bat performs pretty dang well, and it just had a horrible feel that turns people off. For many of the DeMarini diehards, it was terrible and not what we were expecting. We bought an all composite bat and didn't get the feel that we were used to in the RD28 and the Juggys. Give it time. I think something will be back sooner rather than later.

it wasn't the performance that made me hate the j3u, its the weighting and feel. it just felt like a log and was too endloaded
take a cl22 barrel and put a juggy handle on it, i'll be happy
