Not sure what you need pics of a broken one for... Do you need to verify that yours is not shaved or something?

confused op.....why dont you just post a pic of yours? this board will let you know if its altered or not

 

[1787Softball]

Yeah, I just didn't wanna post it up here. Cause I don't want to kill my rep or people think I swing shave. I just don't wanna send it to miken. Can anyone help?.

 

[Dupe19]

You just bought the bat, your rep won't take a hit if you post it here.

If you're looking for what the inside of a shaved bat looks like, there are multiple clues. Miken likes to epoxy their endcaps from inside the bat. If you take a flash light and look into the barrel towards the endcap it should look kinda like a nice flat piece of epoxy.

The inside walls of the barrel should be very smooth with no obvious sanding marks. The thickness of the inner walls shouldn't suddenly get thicker after the sweet spot. There should also be little to no dust inside the barrel.

I'll tell you that the first inside of a barrel that most people see, they think is shaved no matter what just because they've never seen one before. Post a decent pic and we'll help you out.

I'll post up some pics.. Thanks for the info sir

 

[1787Softball]

These are the pics.. Any help would be beyond appreciated. Thanks in advance

The inside of the barrel doesn't change thickness at all from I could tell..

then its not shaved but why were you worrying about it. was it cause you want to send it back for the return or something?

 

[Dupe19]

Looks normal to me, not shaved.

 

[alteredzx]

looks fine to me.

 

[1787Softball]

I was worrying about it cause it was just too ridiculous. Some of the guys at Bp were saying it looked shaved. Yeah I wanna send it back to get my return bat. I just had that though in back of my head. Thank you guys I really appreciate the help.

The white 349 sticker would have been gone if it was dirty. I imagine that's from QC

Mikens come from the factory "just too ridiculous". That bad boy looks just like everything ive ever broke. Enjoy the new freak black youre about to get.

 

[1787Softball]

Thank you guys all the input was very helpful will be sending it in, let's see what new toy I get. Hopefully it last this time.

100% not shaved. That code goes away. It's Mikens version of imprinting Easton on the inside. Everyone thinks everyone else has shaved bats. Slowpitch is like 3rd grade.

Completely agree with too ridiculous. I bought a minty black dc-41 and after the first few swings in the back of my mind I was wondering is I was sold a dirty stick. Miken has really stepped their game up.

so i finally waited to return my bat, found the receipt and called miken little did i know the barcode fell. So now i'm stuck with this bat that i cant return because i cant find the bar code... just great, thanks for the input guys really wished miken would off taken it.

 

[ccfred]

I have the same issue with my freak 12 . Does anyone make Bar codes ?

 

[aztec575]

I tape the barcode to the receipt

 

[Ballisttic]

I take the barcode off and stick them to the receipt, then put the receipt in an envelope.

That's what I do....and put them in my filing cabinet....that way they are never touched or have something get ripped or fall off or etc...I am getting my warranty in case my bat breaks in a year....which can always happen fast with mikens sometimes...
