How did it happen? Is the split going all the way through the bat? Looks like something like a spike has been dragged all the way down it

How did you remove the scuff sheet? Did you pull it off across the blade or did you pull it down along the length of the blade?

from the picture it looks as though the crack goes through the center of the toe

i pulled it off sideways as up the willow removes the willow fibres, and yeah there is a crack in the toe and then it gets smaller until right in the middle, yeah it plays ok, the odd one sounds a bit dodgy off the middle

Have you got in touch with James? (Presuming it is a Jedi) and see what he has to say about it

Yeah, I know him through a guy at my club. Quite a few of the lads now have one of his bats

It does actually look quite bad to me from those pictures, but if it plays alright I wouldn't worry!
