it's 1.52. If it were 15.2 that would really be a great bargain. I am using 2 drops per 1000 pellets in my Nitro venom rifles.

I would start by checking the sellers satisfaction rating and reviews. Fakes or bootlegs are almost always much much cheaper than the real thing. That is a big red flag. I'd say this probably isn't a bootleg. This figure in particular is new enough and unpopular enough that I would be surprised if there are fakes made already. Amazon should talks care of you if the seller misleads you. For me, if the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

I bought this bat for my 15yr old daughter last fall. She has used it with the machine and weighted balls and has had no problems. She loves this bat, has hit 2 out of the park with it so far.

I'm not selling. Yes it is the same as pic. ."HOWEVER" .. This is not a factory made B-3, because of laws these clones are made in many different back-yard , garage shops by hand . You may get a gem .. I got (1),,,,,,, one good one out of three. No Mfg. marks or serial #'s will be found. I like it a lot.

I just received one purchased in 11/2014 and although it says "laser etched" it looks more like a sticker to me. In any event, mine has the 'mismatched scales' problem others have reported. The package did not appear to have been opened before I received it but it may well have been, or perhaps someone received it before I did and checked right through the packaging before opening it to observe the issue. Mine is off about 1/2 degree which doesn't sound like much but it actually makes a difference on larger moldings and casings. I am contacting Starrett for help - I think that's better than just doing a replacement with the seller since if everyone starts doing this we will pass the bad ones around for years.

Hi. I've read that there are fakes around on ebay for sure. I can't vouch but the box here and the warranty card, manual, cloth, case - all look pretty authentic to me. The logo cut too looks pretty authentic. If you want to compare to a fake google for sample images. You pretty much can tell straightaway. The box (for fake) is a little like this but seem oversized, the logo cut is clumsy (unless "they" refined it) and the flute do not come with the above warranty cards owner's manual etc. My case is moulded plastic which has maroon velvet, my friend's son's has a case like this one.

Bought one on Amazon in July. My bat was new and still in wrapper. Excellent experience.

It is stamp[ed on the back label. when looking at the back label it is stamped vertically on the right side, not in the text along with a serial number. Mine is good for about two years according to the label. It is marked Aug 2016.prf

Call Louisville a Slugger, and have your receipt? My son had a bat a few years back the he loved!! However we had to replace it twice, as long as you have a receipt, I don't know why it would be a problem? I am not a LVL Slgr rep, but they stood by their product before

Frankly, I don't know if it is or not. I gave it to my sister in Colorado. I have a smaller one that I bought at Tuesday Morning which was in the same price range. The quality felt good and it worked as it was supposed to, but I no longer have the tool to compare any numbers, so can't speak to authenticity. Perhaps a close-out lot?? I don't know - sorry.

I'm afraid I am unable to comment on the series and their specific usage/applications. I do know the item I received looks exactly like the photo and has "13/14 mulitchoice" inscribed where you noticed the 1300 series inscription.

If it was a brand new bat and it came from a registered DeMarini dealer and you have the receipt, then yes. I have bought 3 of the CF5's in2 ddifferent sizes and the -11 bat broke and it was replaced by DeMarini with no problems. The other two were different sizes both -10 and have had no problems. When you buy the bat, make sure you are buying from a DeMarini registered dealer or they won't warranty it. That is what I was told by DeMarini

Hi! It was advertised as 12, then 10, then 12 qt. I wanted it so I didn't care, though I think it is a sleazy practice! It is only 10 qt, but is a good looking item and does what they say it will.(And "10 qt" is indeed stamped on the bottom). And I bet the "new" one I see advertised is also a 10 qt! Good luck!
