Not our problem but....

Not to sound condescending or anything, but if it were me, I would use the "non-approved" bats in practice and save the ping in the new bat for the games. I know that with my sons, I had to buy a new bat every couple of years anyway because the bats would lose their elasticity. Now granted, I never bought a $300 bat, most were in the $80-100 range, so maybe the more expensive bats last longer.
