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...
