    How many do you want there to be?

    I've got an order of 12 on 7/15/82 for D1443 35in/33oz WG/FT finish. I'm not sure what the WG is.

      D143 WG? i wonder myself. i guess we will have to find out. i am finding these knobless bats and they all come from bat orders of 6-12, which is pretty cool for me. thank you again brian.

              He ordered some 34.5's and 33.5's but no 34's for that model.

                WG is wide grain, which is what this bat is. perhaps the team ordered it or someone else as it has his number on the knob. an odd situation, or information incorrectly annotated?

                  Or it could be it was made to the wrong length...it's happened before and I'm sure it will happen again.

                      Sorry I couldn't be more help, but most likely the turner just cut it short. As you said, everything else matches.

                      Hell, when I first got the CNC lathe up and running we made a switch on cutting knives. I didn't take that into account in the programming. All the bats were coming out an 1/8th inch short. If the bat was cupped, it was a full half inch shorter than ordered. I spent a lot of weekends reprogramming.
