An eye opening experience for myself: I know a non conference ex factory player from a certain brand last year laughing about and showing off a “utrip” bat at league once, painted with stamps and all, that he said tested 200 brand new and was termed as an “owners bat” and that there were more. And this bat was painfully obvious. Then heard another time that a different ex factory player was given an “owners bat” without even being told what it was until after the fact to use in a derby
My question is how can these bats simply exist and what is being done to assure integrity and keep manufacturers honest and accountable? It sounds like they can almost make anything and put a stamp on whatever they want. And the compression tester only does so much. Who actually knows what’s legit, what’s made up, and what the extent is of what’s out there
