Why does my bat have a "Non-Warranty" stamp?

The sticker indicates the bat is a warranty replacement or does not come with a warranty. As such, it is non-returnable and not covered by an additional warranty under our terms.

All our warranties start from the date of purchase – not the day you received the bat, or first used it.

There are a number of reasons your claim might have been denied. For example, ourwarranty does not cover:

  • Bats purchased used or from unauthorized resellers.
  • Bats used as team bats.
  • Certain wood or slowpitch bats
  • You already received your 1 time warranty replacement
  • Claim showed no defects or the claim was based on "dead bat" that we cannot validate

(Note: Our product team inspects every bat returned under warranty and reserves the right to deny any claim based on the findings of that inspection.)

I feel like my bat lost it’s “pop” or is “dead”. Can I get a replacement?

Our barrels perform right out of the wrapper but performance can be compromised from a variety of things overtime. We have the right to deny claims of performance decrease or "lost pop" "dead bat" claims.

No, you only qualify for 1 replacement bat and the replacement will not come with an additional warranty.

Will the Axe 30 Day Money Back Guarantee apply to my replacement bat?
