CF 7 End Cap Question - Help Needed

[Lsjames]

My DD got a CF 7 from her teammate. It's been used about one year. The bat is two inches and ounces longer than her old one. She's been on fire since getting the longer bat. 0.750 + BA & 5 HR this month.

I was cleaning it today and inspecting it for cracks. I noticed something sticking out from under the end cap. It looks like a little paper with florescent yellow on one side and white on the other. I'm hoping it's what's left of the wrapper or original packaging. I hope it's not some tape or something that someone put to keep the end cap back on after they tampered with the bat. I would never knowingly let her use a rolled or shaved bat just to get an edge. I would rather she learn how to swing correctly.



Has anyone seen this before? Thanks

Wrapper is clear and doesn't go between the endcap and the barrell...haha

Wonder what could be sticking out of the end of the barrel?

Is it to thin to be a piece of ball cover??

Looks like ball cover to me. I've had it happen on my DD bat a couple of times, albeit not quite as much "skin" as that, but it usually will work itself out after a few solid hits. Try using more of the sweet spot instead of the end.

That could be it. At least it sounds more likely than the wrapper haha.

I will tell her to hit it more solidly. She will get a kick out of that. Every now and you gotta foul one off.
Thanks!

Just take tweezers and pull it out...get a better look
