heres the reality of this...based on this review some are panicking and 2nd guessing there purchase or preorder, some will come on here and say it's the greatest bat just to defend their purchase or preorder, some will hit it and truly love it, some will hit it and not like it....some will sell, some will hoard, some will maybe experience some type of issue with the bat, others won't....some guys are expecting a bat that will change them into instant hr hitters and they will be disappointed, some will give it time to break in and probably love it, it's the same w/every bat that comes out any more....there is no perfect bat that will satisfy every player out there, its just a fact.....individual experience will vary....bats should come with that disclaimer
