Defective Shattered v1 (READ DESCRIPTION)

ATTENTION: Units purchased as “defective” are non-refundable. Blemished units are sold at a discounted rate, the defect will vary. Some defects that you could experience are, excessive handle tap out of box, slight binding during swing, surface scratches on the handle(s), and more. Units deemed as blemished are still functional, but will have underperforming or visual defects that do not meet SC standards to be sold as new. The discount/price of the units can vary over time based on the defects or how bad the defect is prior to selling. Tuning related defects such as tap and/or excessive play, are not naturally repairable. Retuning will very likely not solve the problem.

Sales on discontinued products are final.

Tier 3: Units with defects that fall far from Shattered Concept standards. This can include significant tap, play, visual defects, or a combination of defects, etc.
