There is 2 different Ultra II bats out there...The reissue Ultra II bat has the 1.21 logo engraved as well as "patent approved for..." stamped on the barrel....while the OG Ultra II bats that were involved the buyback program that gave the discount to those whom sent the U2 bat in to get 100 bucks discount toward the OG Freak bat....so Miken held all those OG U2 bats (with removal of asa stamps in process) for senior softball which they replaced the endcaps, and engraved the 1.20 logo as well as the barrel still shows "patent pending".
