So there is a blue rubber ring, that has "Tru 3" on it, where the handle and barrel connect. The ring itself has ripped. There doesn't appear to be any other part of the bat that is damaged. My husband put some electrical tape on it for the time being to keep it from flapping around. Is this an issue? I can't find any info anywhere (Google has failed me!), even on the Slugger website on whether the ring actually serves a purpose or if it's just a trim piece. Do you think this will affect the bat's performance? Is the tape ok? Or should we send it back under the warranty just to get a new rubber ring? Our fall season is about to start and it's a pretty busy schedule. I hate to have to send the bat back, since I have heard that it takes a long time to get them back.
