hi all
Recently bought a bubble legend bat and after knocking it in there is a small crack on the edge I cant post a picture at the minute as im at work but I was just wondering if its anything to worry about ? its level with the legend bat sticker on the outside edge for a right hander just wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do ive spoke to the shop I bought it from and they said if it worsens then I can take it back but if possible id like to avoid that any ideas ? Cheers

I normally leave these.
You can water down PVA glue and fill it and then tape it.
Did you run the edge over the side of the bath/sink? That's a good start and then 45 degree tapping gently to finish.
Good bats do very often crack so I wouldn't worry.
You are about to get a few different choices and opinions. Go with what you feel most comfortable with and enjoy it.
P.S If you use the middle it won't get worse! ;)

These are compression cracks and happen on almost every bat that gets knocked in the only thing you can really do to protect it is to fit an anti-scuff/ fibre sheet and/or edge tape

All good quality bats should develop small cracks. I would gently tap with a mallet in a downwards movement allowing the mallet to slide off the edge this should then compress the crack.
