Comments on this youkilis bat?

[matt]

Anyone else think the grain on this eBay Youk bat looks odd? The close up of the name and model looks funky to me. Most of the M9's with a normal black finish don't show any grain on the barrel, but this one does. Why? Is it maybe a promo bat with a different finish, just heavy use...or perhaps I am just looking to hard for a problem!

Also, the alignment ofthe name and model and team do not match the Steiners I have seen more recently. Steiner wants $500 for a broken Youk bat...gulp...

It's not an M9 - looks like a regular ash bat...
Smith finish bats make it hard to discern grain - but this looks like a single dip finish black bat.

All the Ash bats that he has ordered from us were just regular black bats. Last time he ordered Ash from us was 2006 a dozen bats.

I am a moron for not noticing this is not an M9 before asking the question.

I was comparing it to his usual 2007-present M9's.

Matt,

Are you thinking it's legit?

[jgoldstein2000]

Matt,

Did you buy it? It has been taken down.

I did not buy the one on eBay. Maybe another forum member did. I run hot and cold on buying a Youkilis bat. He is one of only Sox 2 starters whose bat I do not own (crisp is the other), but I have never gotten excited enough about him to pay up. This looks like a good year for him though, so maybe I need to pony up!
