Question: Would you allow this bat to be used or would you rule it to be defective equipment? Has anyone else seen this problem with the 2004 Anderson Rocket-tech?

I have found this to be quite common over the past year.
I will point it out to a coach and tell them to tap the pins back in.
Actually, a little pressure on the bat while holding the pin against a solid surface will puch it in quite easily.
Two years ago, we had a member of the NUS pull all of the Rocket-techs due to this problem.
As the Rep for the tournament, I showed him how to fix it and all was well. Bats were allowed back in.
