Yes...The gold, silver and bronze were smaller as well. No concerns here.

Discussion: End Cap

FYI...In my opinion, the best glue to use is marine glue normally found at a boating supply store. This glue is flexible and a lot less brittle than stronger adhesives. However, once my end cap comes out, I mothball the bat. It simply doesn't have the same pop anymore. Food for thought.

Wood1966 nailed it...completely. But here's something to consider.

This year, my 55AA team played 55M teams in every qualifier we competed in (except Western Worlds) because there's simply not very many AA teams around. Do you suggest that either the M/M+ players be required to carry around single wall bats in case they have to play a AAA or AA team? Or, do the AA/AAA teams buy the hot bats to use only when they are mismatched against the big dogs?

I'd prefer each play be allowed to buy and use any approved bat they can afford, and greater steps are made to protect the AA players from mismatches against M teams.

Side note: SSUSA required a signed managers agreement for every tournament. The managers agreement includes that I certify that my players are adequately skilled for this level of play. I have no problem with AAA teams, but there's a reason we are AA and M players are not on my roster. It's simply UNSAFE.

Back to your concerns...My team plays to WIN...not to be 5 and done. Woody is right...I haven't meat a team at any level that doesn't care about winning. That's just dumb.
