Want to give a shout out to DKP.
My son plays with a junior DKP bat (size 6 / 2.4 ) - I got it used for about $50. Its probably the best junior bat in his league, better than many $500 LW reserves. In hindsight I would be happy paying a lot more for it :-)
The pressing is really soft though, The bat is about 3 seasons old, the bat has a lot of dings, the inside corner of the tow is bent backwards, right hander's inside edge suffered some dents.
The binding wasnt great, the bat was very whippy. I added a layer of athletic tape to stiffen it up.
This is his game bat, I dont let him use it in the nets. Next bat will also be a DKP!
