It looks like its kinda coming up there, but from where it is and by the looks, I doubt its anything of importance and more cosmetic. Probably no big deal.
Exactly my point. Its looks like this sticker or whatever was put there for looks so you see something diff in the "holes" of the rubber connection. Draws the eye
to a diff color...yada yada.
This bat's sticker prob wasn't 100% set when made, and with hits and the flex, lifted the sticker and made the sticker crack. OR, maybe it wasn't set real well, and
trunk of a car's heat made it loosen and raise a little.
Either way, I wouldn't waste a return on something that doesn't have any effect on the bat or performance.
