Gonna throw the BS flag on this one. It you had truly purchased a bat from coresoftball20, you'd know what his prices were. I purchased a Xeno, LXT, and a CF7 from him. As a Rep, you have to sell those bats at MSRP which is $349.99 according to a very close friend of mine which is also a Wilson Rep. Take away your coupon, add shipping and insurance and your still about $70 over what he would have charged you. Try again with more BS. Many members on here know what we paid.

Yep. I stand with your flag.

DD liked her CFX at first because it was new and pretty. She quickly decided she doesn't like it. We got her a used CF8 (just like her old one but bigger) and she's happier now. Anyone wanna buy a barely used CFX?

I will trade you a Mako for it, no hits on it. Very pretty white.

Gonna throw the BS flag on this one. It you had truly purchased a bat from coresoftball20, you'd know what his prices were. I purchased numerous bats from him including a Xeno, LXT, and a CF7. As a Rep, you have to sell those bats at MSRP ( or MAPP) which is $349.99 according to a very close friend of mine which is also a Wilson Rep. This also means that your coupon code is "illegal" by their standards. Now, take away the $56 for your coupon, add shipping and insurance and you"re still about $30 over what he would have charged you if you payed by PayPal and $40 if you paid by credit card. Try again with more BS. Many members on here know what we paid.

Thanks dude...always some stand-up guys on here to back up the other good folks (I would like to consider myself a good folk atleast...haha). I was def
under his prices by 30 bucks atleast...even with his discount. But I wasn't in the market to rip people off, I figured people could use the money for other things.
And for dbags stores to cry about wanting more people to pay 349 for their bats so they can pocket 130+ bucks is ridiculous. How many people do they need to rip off?

Also, I got to give A LOT free bats to kids that really needed a lift up in their lives which I hope I helped and donations to help people raise funds for things. Figured it was the least
I could do to pass it on.

I know its a strange business strategy nowadays but it actually worked very well until Wilson and the bigger stores got even more greedy and wanted people out so they could make
more full retail money off the people they act like they care about. Not caring about who else it was gonna effect. But Wilson didn't care because I tried to explain that to them as well.
Now maybe Ryan will understand my hatred for a company like that and how much I hope people think twice about buying their products (atleast their new products).

So, now Ryan, talk more smack about me getting screwed by Wilson...knowing that it effected others as well.

But don't worry, I forwarded this og post to Wilson (since I do still know people around there) and lets see how they feel about a rep violating map policy.

Since this went sideways .....

What is the gap bat? Does it compare to another bat?

Haha, gap bat just means certain technology. Like on the Ghost, there is a gap between the outer barrel and inner barrel which allows the manufacturer to make
much softer outer barrel because the inner barrel slows the outer from going too crazy. So the goal of the bat, is to make the inner barrel have as much
reaction as you can get without going illegal.

Another bat question. :)

Is it true that the ghost seems to have a durability Issue?

(Thank you for explaining gap for me.)

I have went into that a couple times on here. Bats come off a line, not all are perfect. If you consider how many are sold compared to breaks, it is perfectly fine. I bet
less than 1% have had any issue...which is very good. Heck, there are bats out there like the Sprite that are horrible, but nobody complains. Problem is, the couple
that do break, the people are heard on forums way more than the majority that are fine. Just like any consumer good. Plus, you never get a full story on some breaks.
I have heard some nice stories when I push folks into it...haha. I have heard of people hitting garage doors, hitting baseballs with it. Also, all these new bats
are not BP bats. Had people who hit the bat 2000 times in a month and it broke and got mad it was only one month old :)

So quick answer, no, no durability issue.
