The crack extends down the front, goes through the toe in a diagonal direction and up the back. Looks terminal to me. Shame as it's a cracking Newbery Uzi C6+

Sorry, I don't know much about bat repairs, but I think it is knackered and should be retired to the garage wall for posterity and happy memories (which their must be otherwise you would more than likely not want waste money repairing it!!)

Not my bat buzz lol. It's a mates and he's gutted. I think he scored his first 50 with it, having been considered a rabbit for years until he wopped this bad boy out (his batting did improve buzz - it wasn't just the stick).He has another he brought only recently, but replacement cheating bats are hard to find nowadays.

I have a broken uzi, snapped handle.

Have emailed a few companies with regard of getting it fixed. But no one wants my money!

Send them both to us if you like. We will take a look and see what we can do.

That's a thought - put your bat with my handle. That said, does anyone have an idea how easy it is to re-use a carbon handle? Be very impressed if we have an expert on that subject  :D

The one with the split blade can be repaired. The one with the handle we cant do.

Kieron, its a standard cane handle if that helps. Or can you not do rehandles all together?

Liam, handles more hassle than its worth for me. I can get it done for you if you are desperate ?

Nice job from Kieron, considering all the work required to make it usable again. Required a ton of glue, pinning as you can see from the pics. The full refurb has required a sticker change but I think the bulldog ones look better if anything. Very pleased with the outcome.
