Nice bath for the £Had an older C271 M9 that was awesome this past season. Broke after hitting a ball off the end of the bat, which commonly can occur. Had the bat for about 3 - 4 years.I ordered the exact same model, but Select Cut which is supposed to be a superior quality wood. First AB, hit a nice line drive single. Second AB, and literally the second time that bat made contact with a ball ever, I was literally sawed off by a 70 MPH fastball. I was left holding an 8 inch piece of shattered wood in my hands. The barrel nearly impaling the catcher on his forearm.I think they are selling defected bats under the guise of quality control passed bats. What are the odds of being sawed off by a not-so-fast pitch the second time the bat ever strikes a ball???We gave this bat to our 15 yr-old baseball-loving grandson for Christmas and he was so excited and proud. It is truly a beautiful bat and we know that it will surely inspire him at his next wooden bat tournament!This was purchased for my son, who lost this exact bat in the Hurricane Ida flooding. He was glad to get a replica.Broke on my first at bat, 2nd contact. Good costumer service from Justbats though.It was broken on only 3 swings...to play baseballShattered after 1 at bat.Broke first day at practice! Horrible!
