My daughter’s echo connect has started to lose its end cap every dozen hits or so (she puts it back on after it falls off). It had a rattle that I was waiting to get worse to send it back for warranty- but it’s no longer rattling now that the end cap keeps flying off. Will this qualify for warranty? (She has another bat that she uses in games- so just want to get use out of this one before we get it replaced - I got it last June)
