Title: Absolutely RAGING
Post by: wilkie113 on July 27, 2012, 06:26:22 PM: Well I played a T20 last night, and to my amazement I dig out a yorker off a very slow bowler, and there is a huge dent/crack in the toe of my beloved Hattori!
Turns out the ball was a flaming sports world special bat breaker! Absolutely hit the roof, and made them change it.

My question is what can I wrap it with, like the GN tuff tek wrap etc? I'll refurb it myself just wanted to wrap it with something to give it some protection! The ball was that hard it even put a dent in the middle of the bat!
Any help would be greatly appreciated

It it gets any worse open up the crack with a knife and put some PVA in then clamp using grip off cuts.
