Title: is my bat done?
Post by: mpatel211 on August 03, 2013, 02:33:32 AM: Hey guys,

This is a fairly new bat I brought. I knocked it for couple hours and than used it on old balls. The face of the bat has vertical CRACKS on it. I am not sure if you guys can tell from the pictures below:

I see VERTICAL cracks :(

What bat is it?

Looks like it could be a Champ but I could be wrong.

Bat looks fine to me, I don't really like the term 'opening up' but I'd enjoy the bat as much as long as possible
