Title: Bat Death
Post by: RF on March 06, 2016, 01:21:53 PM: I broke my bat at nets on Friday.

I don't think this can be fixed, shame because it was well balanced and had a great middle.

I got 50 in what looks like it's last innings, RIP bat

Not always but sometimes that type of split is a sign of weak willow
My mates m and h went exactly like this and they gave 100 off a new bat for him

Post by: RF on March 06, 2016, 02:34:59 PM: It was a Warrior, I've had it for about 3 or 4 seasons and it's seen quite a lot of use so I think I've had my monies worth actually.
I'm a bit disappointed because I really liked it but it's an excuse to buy another one I suppose.
I bought it my pre CBF days when I thought owning one bat was enough, crazy times.

I was trying out my new small edged Warner profile in Friday and it was great, can't wait for the season to start now,

Post by: sarg on March 06, 2016, 09:22:35 PM: I don't think that is fixable, but id certainly ask the manufacturer to check it.
