My DD is currently swinging a 32/22 Miken Freak & a 32/22 2Legit. The end cap has previously popped off the Freak and was repaired by Miken to avoid using the warranty. Both bats are still under warranty. The problem we're having is that the end caps start noticeably separating with every swing of the bat on both bats. Before each use, we've been banging the bat on the ground to push i back in but this has to be done after every round of hitting. Both bats are hot, so it's not affecting performance but it's definitely annoying.

If I were to put a little superglue in them, would that impact the warranty? Any other suggestions?

Probably enough to stick the end of a paperclip in. Not sure how much it separate if we didn't "correct" it each time. Although, thw cap has flown off the freak before but they supposedly fixed it.

The width of a paperclip? There is endcap separation with bats after some use. That small isn't anything to worry about. The walls of a bat flex and flex. The endcap doesn't flex the same way so there is going to be a little give after a while.

The cap shouldnt fly off like the one bat did...but they aren't going to keep moving and moving out so you don't have to worry.

You are going to fight a losing battle if a little separation like that is gonna have you going nuts...haha

I'll let them go and see what happens. But to the other question, if I end up using adhesive on them, will that void the warranty?
