Wonder if this will be falsely advertised like the rest of the crap they send out?

😂😂 CA are one brand that I really cannot stand, from the blatant lies on the stickers, to the terrible handles they use. Their bats perform great, but their morals and QC seem to be non existent at best lol.

Its as if someone went about selling laser engraving machines to all the asian batmakers and now it is the latest fad among them. So far, I have seen SS and RS share pics of laser engraved bats, and now CA. I must say, they do look really cool.

Presumably it is harder to create knock off versions of laser engraved bats than it is to get sets of fans stickers printed? O would be surprised if it isn't a concern to some of these brands just how many knock offs there are of their higher end bats

Personal experience with CA bats, never had any issues with their handles.

Also, the myth about their side sticker weights, those weights are in LBS. So 2.9LBS would be 2 pounds 14 ounces. Is my understanding.

As for other models dropping a grade. Not sure that will be the case with the Morgs LE. But isnt it what all brands do? Gray Nicolls introduced the Legend, and it automatically became their top model. So the other models would have a ripple effect.

While your understanding is what CA have said,, in practice it doesn’t work out that way. I’ve had circa 25 CA bats in for repair or refurb over the last 18 months. Every single one of them had either 2.8 or 2.9 on them, and they ranged from 2lbs 8oz to 3lb 1oz

It’s a complete joke. They literally only have those 2 stickers I’d wager. And just stick them on everything 😂

Also, why lie and put a “fully knocked” sticker on every bat?

Not necessarily, the legend is their exclusive limited edition range, you can still buy pro performances that are their top range without the legend stickers.

What people are raising an issue with is “the Morgs edition is x% of our top willow limited to x per year”  last season, and now next season this laser engraved bat will be “x% of our top willow limited to x per year” the morgs won’t reduce in price but will still have the same prestige that it did this year, and this will be assumedly at a higher price. They can’t both be the top x% of the willow, it’s just not possible.

He's the reason why..

We cut down a tree which is a living thing requiring water to grow, it now get stored for moisture to deduce and so does the weight of the bat. We now put the clefts into a metal container and send it to Pakistan and India. The heat inside the container removes a lot of moisture and weight. A bat is made from the willow in many occasions outside in what we in the UK would consider to be very hot, hotter than i would be in our front room with the heating on (somewhere we wouldn't store our bat in the winter!  It is then shipped back to the UK in the same containers again loosing weight.

When it gets back to the UK is will soak in as much moisture as it can but each bat will be different and therefore no matter what the weight sticker on the bat is it will never be the same in the UK!
