| Posted | Discussion |
| March 30, 2013 Big Mike 84 posts | question regarding paint chips I have 2 bats that both have developed a paint chip. It's about an eigth inch square on both bats. Both are newer bats and I was wondering if this is a sign of things to come? And has the bat developed a weak spot?...Ambush and Dirty |
| March 30, 2013 WCMONSTA 31 posts | Very common, Mike, especially these days. Its a combination of poor prepping before the paint stage and the simple fact that the composite bats flex so much the paint doesn't want to flex with the shell. Probably nothing to worry about. |

| March 30, 2013 titanhd Men's 60 639 posts | I agree with MONSTA that per the bat there probably isn't anything to worry about but , for being allowed to use may be a different concern. I found that removing the clear coat before using a new bat helps prevents this from occurring. Spider-webbing is mostly cracks in the clear coat. No clear coat, no spider web. If you properly remove the clear coat you won't have spider webbing and you will minimize or completely eliminate paint flaking. |
