Title: I'm sad
Post by: Colesy on April 24, 2013, 06:47:59 PM
I am sad people. I have just discovered a crack on my Icon running from the back of the splice down either side of the spine about 2/3 inches. Now the warrantee runs out in the next few weeks, do I replace it or tape it up loads and hope it holds as its soooooo good.

But the middle on it, and the rest of it is still so good. Want to squeeze out what life it has left

My only concern is because its a 606 there won't be as one aesthetically as good. Oh well

RIP mate. Globe it's going back to?

Yep, only issue is I can't find the little booklet they give you. Customer service is normally very good so hoping they'll be ok with it. Will see what they have in there, last time there were loads of Epics and not many other GMs :(

And there is no way of fixing this? Having a moment like Dave and his Laver

Use it until the warranty runs out then, give it a proper send off. You might it packs in after 1 more ball! I wouldn't miss out on that warranty though

I'm not 100% sure when it exactly runs out. It's in the next 2/3 weeks though so don't want to take any risks. Just such a shame with the blade is performing brilliantly. Got Tom's/Byo's lot Sunday so want to use something good to help me haha

You never know, you might pick up something even better although having it knocked in by Sunday might be pushing it!

If you don't like your new Icon, I saw a Purist 808 at our club today. Forgot the guy had it, and it is too heavy for him, so I'm gonna swap him it for a lighter bat. :D

Well my friend got the Purist 909 as old stock at the end of last season so I'm trying to talk him into giving me his old Purist 808. We'll see what happens otherwise I might be e-mailing you haha

Globe said they'd send it back and as the warranty covers the first year (basically my old boom boom) they're not sure ill get a replacement but maybe a % off a new one. We shall see

Bit dodgy that the warranty doesn't cover a full year of any replacement for a previous breakage.
