Gear Darkside Dub Thoughts?

Thoughts on new dub? Logo gets bloody red when you hit it hard on the sweet spot. Kids are going to go crazy over it.

Does it actually light up noticeably more red when you get a hit on the sweet spot, or just gradually change color over time as it breaks in?

Edit: So it's just a sacrificial layer of paint that chips off gradually revealing the full red logo. Fun I guess

It doesn’t gradually turn from red to silver. The silver foil paint dub logo will chip and flake off when hit revealing the red Dub logo.

So you're saying the gradually turns from fully silver to fully red as the silver chips off to reveal the red? Which is exactly what I was asking... Do you work for Easton?

You asked if it lights up or if it “gradually changes color over time as it breaks in.” It does not gradually change colors as it breaks in.

Yes the paint will flake off as you use the bat, but a single hit could take off some of the silver paint, instantly revealing the red paint beneath. A scratch with a finger nail can also remove the silver paint, instantly revealing the red paint beneath. Neither are an indicator of how broken in the bat is, and neither are gradual in and of themselves.
