Title: Refurbing my poorly H4L
Post by: wilkie113 on March 19, 2013, 06:21:14 PM

After using my hattori all last season, it got a hammering. Including me standing in the back of it and putting a filthy hole in the back :(. So I set to work this afternoon, I'd already left some glue sit in the cracks a couple of days back.
Possibly the best bat I've ever had
Anyway here are the pictures, she looks naked without stickers bless her :(

Top stuff mate, as good as new! This Hattori shape is nicer than the one I have, don't know why that is... :-[ Good to see some forum members using their bats and refurbing them rather than buying new ones all the time like me! 8)

Wilkie, could you post a close up of the face cracks after the refurb (seen in the last "before" photo)?

I'm jealous! I want mine to have H4L stickers again :(!

Skipper, I'll get some pictures later, I've got a new sewing machine so I'm going to test it out lol!
