There is a bat symbol, it's just dark like the base which makes it hard to see. You're going to love yours... it's awesome! g-

No, not cupped. The one I received was a Derek Jeter signature model, I believe they send random models, you don't have a choice.

Even though I'm looking at mine and it says 14.8%, I see the back of the one being sold here is 15.2%. I guess they have made them in different strengths.

I looked all over the two I have and could not find any marking in the metal. That being said, even a stamp in the metal could be faked or added later so I'm not sure it would really mean anything and the two I have are really well made and unlike some of the cheap ones I've had in the past. Hope this helped.

It can indicate "out of print" or "original print". The seller should be able to let you know specifically what they are referring to.

I was curious so I pulled mine out and looked at them, it doesn't say. The IR website doesn't say. Some other vendors don't say either. I will say I am satisfied with them and have no issues. The engraving seems to hold fairly well, i have abused a couple of these in tight fits and its scraped up but the lettering is recessed, so while its damaged, its not like it comes off. They may be made in USA, I have no idea but the quality is far above cheap import sets you find at the import tool stores.

Yes this bat is USSSA Certified with a 1.15 BPF. And the bat is labeled with this information.

Hey Geoff. It does have good pop, but all of the bats in our dugout are very similar in this regard as they all carry a 1.15 BPF. The difference is (or seems to me to be) that this bat seems to carry that pop to both ends of that massive sweet spot better than the other bats. That's what seems to set the bat apart from the others. Better pop farther out on the end of the bat and closer in to the grip allowing for more productivity from balls not hit as well. Hope this helps.

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! 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!

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

Yeah.... I don't know. I only bought it to use if someone tries to break into the house. Unfortunately, the attacker will probably get it away from me before I can get a good swing in. Its a nice bat and if I never use it I can give it to my grandson. I will check and see if it says anything on it that it is ok for Little League. It just says "Grand Slam Youth Baseball" and someones autograph. Also says "Powerized" and "Louisville Slugger" Louisville, Kentucky. Made in USA. I just read "Little League bylaws limit the size of any bat to 33 inches in length and 2 1/4 inches in diameter. This one is 29" and 2 1/4" diameter. I believe it is ok for Little League then!

What??? Don't know what you are talking about. I rated nothing bad; only said while it was still in the sealed (HP) bag, it did not have the original box - which did not really matter.

Same response from me Daniel - They have the Embossed Ball Logo and the price is right! Hope this helps...

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

That's probably just an unfortunate choice of pictures. The one I received had no marks on it. It looked new.
