End Cap coming off CF6

[mr19]

I'm assuming this is a common thread. Looking for advice. End cap coming off a bit on one side of daughter's CF6, probably pushed out about an eighth to a quarter of an inch. Still under warranty (bought in Sep). Issue is giving it up for a few weeks for warranty repair.

Can I just hammer it back down or is that just a terrible idea?

Give it up for a few weeks, you might get a CF8.

If you overnight it on a Sunday night, I bet there's a pretty good chance you'd have it back by Friday. Just to be safe I would buy a new one also.

Oh cool, people could give me donations for good posts.

You have a long time left on warranty to burn it over something pretty simple. IS it only a litte spot that is raising up?

Thanks for all replies. It's only up a little bit on one side -- has used it for first few games this year and doesn't seem to be getting wrse. There is a small rubber tab sticking out, would post pic but don't have bat with me.

Will probably ship back overnight as suggested. Just got RMA# from Demarini. Just a pita.

I wouldn't burn the return for this, but that's your choice.

Guess I wasn't aware there is only one return allowed. Don't really care to purchase a second bat and getting resistance from the daughter on sending it away so we'll see after this weekend.

"DON'T REALLY CARE TO BUY A SECOND BAT"
Monitor, I call for a life time ban!

I bet you meant "I don't care to buy ONLY a second bat" ya ya that's it. Ok....I'm alright now.

If the bat is completely fine and nothing else wrong with it, I wouldnt burn a return just for a little endcap separation.
I would just put a cloth over the cap and tap the cap side back in.

You have 5 months of return left, get the most use out of the bat as you can. Its a diff story if the umps wont allow the bat or you cant tap it back in. Then you have no choice.
