Griffey Bat Legit? Wood Grain
I had a question on this bat, I'm not looking to purchase it, but it reminded me of a question I had. Aren't player model (legit gamers) always double dipped? I thought I remember hearing that you shouldn't be able to see the grain on a dipped bat. On this Griffey bat, you can clearly see the grain in the picture of the handle. Does this mean that it isn't legit?

Re: Griffey Bat Legit? Wood Grain
I have black bats where you can see grain through the knob like this. I may be wrong, but I think double-dipped bats were only doubled through the upper handle, not the entire bat.
FWIW, not making any assertions about this particular bat, but I have bought many bats from Mike and all have been impeccable.

Here is some useful information on the topic from Brian (not on this specific bat):

The "double dip" starts around 16-18 from the knob on bats. You will always be able to see grain the handles of our Smith finish bats. The bat looks good to me.

Re: Griffey Bat Legit? Wood Grain
Thanks Brian, was curious how much of the dap was doubled dipped, and that answers it for me.
