If you still have the chunk then very easily...but yes it can be repaired either way

any of the forum sponsors, I would be able to do it, Ryan, anyone like that, basically you would need a chunk the same dimensions cut from another bat and stuck there.

Yeah, it is possible to do. Try refurbishing it, must not cost you much i guess.

Easily repairable mate, must say it looks a little dry and a nice bit of oil or bat wax looks needed, just my opinion.

Salix do cracking repairs, they buff and polish all there repairs as well and come back looking like knew, get some of there bat wax as well. I swear by the stuff.

Pretty easy to do. Use a chisel to square off the damaged area. Glue and clamp in a donor piece of willow and then trim/ sand to shape. Can be doweled as well if needed or just antiscuffed taped and a toe guard fitted to protect from moisture damage
