ASA & Bats

[Dakota]

I understand your point, Larks, but when a customer buys a product that does not perform as advertized, the proper recourse is with the manufacturer, not with those that set the performance standard.

For example, if a car is sold with pollution control equipment that in a few short weeks burns away and results in a higher performance engine that no longer meets government standards, who is to blame? The government for setting and enforcing the standard, or the manufacturer for trying to dodge the standard? As a car owner, who would your beef be with, and who would you look to for financial relief? The manufacturer.

If I owned one of these bats, I'd be demanding a replacement bat that DOES meet the standard from the manufacturer, rather than complaining about ASA catching them in their shenanigans.
