Fake CA?

[Bonafide Hustler]

I was gifted this bat a few months ago, it was bought from UT sports in Karachi which seems to have a good name. I asked for a really light bat, it was 2.6 and I knocked the bat in for a good week, after a couple of rounds of practice it broke, then I had a freind tell me that it does not seem genuine due to one of the stickers missing. I wanted to ask you guys if this bat is genuine, I will then call UT sports and see what they can do. I doubt they will do much, I will also inform CA if UT doesnt come through. Here are the pics.

I'm not convinced its genuine. Isn't there meant to be a shiny square sticker an inch above the 'L' in limited edition. eg. like this one, which is not there in your bat. However, I doubt UT Sports will sell a fake bat.

That is a fake bat.

bro a hologram can be missed out......it does not mean that its a fake bat.

Bro, go to the ca website and look of the authenticity pics they put under the ca trd bat, and that sticker/hologram is proof that its original

The bat is'nt genuine.....the original CA hologram is missing between the "C" and "A" sticker from the front.

there should be hologram sticker just below 'C' as shown in the link.... i have CA 12000 & 15000 and they both have it there ... ... this is really not genuine because thats the only sticker that fakers cant make at their own....

makes sense.

However I have seen holograms on fake CAs as well.

I was told that they sometimes take CA Hologram from lower end bats and put them on higher end bats.

Thats fake for sure....no company will miss out on the Hologram on their authentic bats..
