Title: Should I be worried?
Post by: gazr5 on April 17, 2016, 07:37:43 PM

I'm probably just fretting over nothing but I opened the batting today and after the game I noticed this on the edge of my bat. I'm using a SS Master 5000 so I understand it may be dry but it's had a good few coats of bat wax since I've got it.

Should I be worried or not? Is there anything I can do to help other than tape over it?

Very minor, nothing to worry about.

Don't know if it's just my eyes but those edges look pretty sharp, may need a bit more rounding

Just give it a little sand and if your still worried put a bit of superglue in the crack

Nothing to worry about.indian bats and Pakistani bats tend to be dried out a lot
If you like the bat don't worry what it looks like get some fibreglass tape on the vulnerable areas against any new ball.it might prolong the life of the bat for you.

cheers guys. It's near the top of the blade so i may have neglected those when rounding and knocking in
