Post by: Jenko on June 30, 2011, 09:36:32 PM: my paradox did a similar thing at training tonight :-(

Plus its got a crack on the edge in the middle thats creeping across the face...not cool. Got a bat sent off to H4L today to have weight reduction done to it...hoping it comes back before the paradox gives up totally!

Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 30, 2011, 09:38:25 PM: Ahh really! That's horrible. I was gutted, its been going like an absolute gun. Didnt seem to be going or anything, but that crack appeared from a surface crack right down through the toe... :(

I'm going to email Gary tomorrow and see what he says.

Post by: Jenko on June 30, 2011, 09:43:34 PM: Yeah I've only scored a couple of hundred runs with it.....has had more net use than anything but it has been going great as well. I feel for you mate!!!

I should prob email gary too....will take pics of mine tomorrow and throw them up here

Post by: johan95 on June 30, 2011, 09:46:20 PM: There is a Talisman underneath that bat though, sure you'll be fine then mate ;)
On a serious note I am sure Gary will be able to sort you out mate, unfortunate that this has happened.
I saw a Paradox LE bought by a team-mate today, looked fab :D
Great bats those Redbacks mine was very impressive :)

Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 30, 2011, 09:46:39 PM: Yeaah, me too. i got it at the end of last season and knocked it in over the winter. did about 6 hours all in all. but yeah, it was a hideous feeling when i saw this dirty ugly crack! :(.

Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 30, 2011, 09:47:56 PM: Johan- yeeah, i am very lucky that i have my Talisman! that goes like a train too. - acquired it off roco.

Yeah, it's a lovely bat. the wood and pickup is awesome!

I love the new paradox profile!

Oh is that the 2.14 one? If so I heard that was a belter :)
I used my 30 grain Talisman today :D - goes like a train as well, damn pleased. Didn't use the Instinct as I had been keen to try the Talisman out :)
The Paradox was impressive, people commented on it from the oppo it looked ace :)

Post by: Perkins17 on June 30, 2011, 09:51:15 PM: you have aarons talisman ??? oh you are lucky ! but not a massive crack can be fixed and it will not effect the performance to much
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: Jenko on June 30, 2011, 09:53:27 PM: haha did see that Talisman you lucky bugger. Gary knocked mine in for me lol. Your crack is a fair bit worse than mine...is the one creeping across the face that worries me! Ah well such is the beauty of cricket bats hey mate

Post by: 100 not out on June 30, 2011, 09:59:03 PM: Heartwood is more brittle. Did I knock in toe thoroughly . Pls be honest ?
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: 100 not out on June 30, 2011, 10:00:05 PM: Why no toe guard or shoe goo?
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 30, 2011, 10:00:39 PM: yeaah it is the 2lb 14 one. It is absolutely unbelievable. it flies. i have been using that quite a bit lately too. That goes just aswell as the redback so i am very fortunate.

You got a 30 grain talisman?! any pics up on here anywhere dude? keen to see it! haha.

Yeah, im confident that Gary will sort me out! :).

Ahh yeah, never ideal when the crack is growing! email Gary and ask for his recomendation, he obv knows his stuff!
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: TommyDeeeee on June 30, 2011, 10:01:32 PM: Yes, i did knock the toe in properly. the toe and edges would of easily had 4 hours...
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: Jenko on June 30, 2011, 10:03:11 PM: Toe guard and/or shoe goo wont stop cracks through the toe like this one though?? Or am I wrong in thinking that
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: Liam-SCCC on June 30, 2011, 10:04:50 PM: I've seen worse repaired!

Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: 100 not out on June 30, 2011, 10:24:39 PM: some damage is caused by moisture penetration. shoe goo would eliminate that
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: Howzat on June 30, 2011, 10:33:10 PM: Toe guard is to prevent water damage only
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: 100 not out on June 30, 2011, 10:38:43 PM: can water damage lead to split toe??
Title: Re: Poorly Redback!
Post by: tbarnfield99 on July 01, 2011, 09:07:08 AM: I'd just use a bat bandage on it if you can get hold of it and use it. It will eventually get worse in time but there isn't much you can do about it. Although the willow looked a little dry! I'd always advise the use of an anti scuff and a light coating of PVA wood glue on the toe. Another option would be to put a piece of dowling through the toe area.
