hehe posting from work so il make this snappy :D the front piece seems to be fine, but the back is no good,it snapped right where the threads are.i am gonna ask them though if there is some sorta warranty but i doubt it.pics coming when i get home :)

He said Scepter. So I'm guessing it broke at the threads.

I had two of my friends both break their boomsticks on the same day, pretty funny. But since our other friend is a registered dealer Dye sent back two Ti's when we sent in the other two. :clap:

here are some pics,the front piece is perfectly fine except for one smaller then a pin head nick on the front.The middle piece is what once was the front of the back piece.pretty clean break.im hoping the company will help me out some with this but who knows :(
oh ya when i say i came down on it i dont mean landinging on it,i fell to my knees and left hand with my marker in the right im guess maybe the tip caught the ground but like i said there is a very small nick at the tip so i dunno,maybe it dould be repaired :confused:

Dude that really sucks i have seen a couple of guys bend or break barrels, but never that cleanly. I think the company should at least send you another back. And if your tip is not that bad as to affect your accuracy then you should just keep it.

I know DYE barrels are lifetime guaranteed, at least their boomsticks and older barrels. I have no idea about Scepter's policy.

well i just got off the phone with the powerlyte people and with a chuckle i was told no they wont replace the back :mad: i guess ill be selling the rest of it since i wont buy anything from them again,yes i know huge loss right.so does dye always replace there barrels when this happens?

And last but not least powerlyte can kiss my rosey red arse :D

why would they not replace it? looking at pics, taht HAS to be a weak spot, or it wouldnt be such a clean break, its a manufacturing error and they should stand behind there products
GAY :mad:
