Title: So what bat maker can fix this then? ( if possible)
Post by: DBM8 on December 17, 2012, 06:36:56 PM: So after seeing ayrtek and procricket recent post about saving there favourite bats, I decided to see a bat maker would accept the challenge of being able to fix mine. She been through a hell of a lot from two toe breakages to this towards the end of last season il get the photos up now. If someone can actually repair this PM me a price and we will talk from there 8)

Post by: Ryan on December 17, 2012, 09:44:34 PM: Think it's past saving but I don't mind giving it a go. I'm not quite sure it will still perform afterwards ether. Deffo worth copying instead.

P.s. I'm currently have toms scat so I'll update his thread once I've finished with it.

Post by: DBM8 on December 17, 2012, 09:59:19 PM: The amazing thing is I took it in the nets it broke like this slotted the handle back into place put some tape around it and it still flew of the bat! Maybe if I get it glued and then cover it with tape i can use it again :)

Post by: tim2000s on December 18, 2012, 07:58:11 AM: Laminate Glue, maybe a thin layer of rubber ;), a few clamps and bang, a very interesting laminate!

Post by: Manormanic on December 18, 2012, 08:09:06 AM: only thing is the glue etc will be too far back to affect performance...
