Well, having hit what felt like a beautiful on-drive tonight in the nets I looked down to see this:-

The Chase is dead.....my 'best bat I've had' is no more......Haven't spoken to Dan yet but will pop in tomorrow to see what I can replace it with.....every cloud!...it will have to go something to beat this though. I am genuinely gutted :( It is well used and scored me a fair few runs so no blame on the maker at all, just one of those things..,..
This is what happens when I make a conscious effort not to buy bats and to get the best out of the ones I already own! Damn my penny pinching ways! :D
-
Holy cow!!!, :( sorry for your loss lad.
-
Some glue and some pinning, that'll be good as new!
-

Thanks mate! Perhaps you'll join me for a drink at the wake? Sausage rolls and a pineapple and cheese hedgehog??
@Wilkie Whilst I appreciate the optimism buddy what this needs is a re-blade....not a re-handle! :D
-
Could be a good thing though if Dan offers you a lovely new FLC? fingers crossed for you mate!

Haha, gotta love a bit of optimism mate!

RIP to the bat you used to be, your days are oooovvvverrrr, baby it's ovvvverrrr

All I got at nets was a lot of mick taking! So nice to find so many 'proper chaps' here who appreciate fine willow and the loss of a 'loved one'
Fattus will be gutted too.....he really liked it!
A new FLC would be nice.....will all depend on the pennies though... :-[
-
Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of broken bats, i shall fear no evil for thou art allowing me to buy a new bat
-
I'm not surprised Fattus liked it, its a proper bat for a proper batsman....
-
Christ on a bloody bike!!!!! You've broken my bloody bat!!!!
I don't want to borrow it now!

Dammit! :D Typical isn't it mate? Was still hoping to swap it for your scoop! :D
-
the bat is not orange enough for Wilkie's Ora gags!
-
Hahahahahahahahahah!
I'd have thrown in the MRF too, and we could have had a really big bonfire!
-
Hmmmm....maybe Pete will still swap either the Compton Puma or the Strauss GN for it? I'll ask him!

Glad you noticed that little Ora link!
-
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss
-
So sorry to hear of your loss it is always a traumatic time but you should always think of the good times in her life...... plus she will make a lovely fire ;-)
-
I feel your pain. Faste(r)eddie did something very similar to one of mine recently.
Still, it's an excuse to spend too much time looking for a new stick.
-
Bows his head, eyes closed and a tear runs down the cheek. May she R.I.P
-
Oh mate! Feeling your pain. RIP FLC.

-
Rest in Pieces fair prince!
-
My old faithful Scat also died a similar death a couple of weeks ago in the nets. Anyways a very sad time for everyone involved :(
-
Comes to all timber in the end some young some old some never even make the middle I will have a few short ones for you loss later.
-
Holy cow! Did you not hear it snap when you played the shot?! Thinking of you at this difficult time.

Having been to see Dan this morning he reckons he can repair it with no problems at all, reckons I won't even notice! So he's got the bat and he's working his magic, needless to say his customer service was superb. I'll post up some pics here when I get it back.
I went to buy a new FLC but he told me not to bother as he could repair mine.....how nice is that? He could have just taken my money on the spot but he didn't. He also gave me a free training jacket and a cup of coffee....! I had a nice day! :D
Great customer service as usual....
-
repair ?? wow ill be interested to see how long that lasts ! i thought terminal for sure !

Thomas, you were right! My pessimism should have given way in the face of your optimism! You were right mate! Amazing news and great service from Dan as ever....
