Didn't take long to break this bat, I wonder who makes them?

Bet Slazenger are delighted with this! Photos of this type just draw comments from people who don't know much, saying things like 'all the bats this brand makes are rubbish' etc

Being a Slazenger most people can't see past the sports direct image anyway. In the grand scheme of things it probably hasn't damaged their reputation all to much.

It's a shame Slazenger are now seen in this way mind

i meant as a pro, surely as its a new bat he'll just get another and wont be bothered but those who are paying its obviously a big deal and i know when i snapped my favourite i was gutted!

I doubt very much pro's would be at all worried they have loads of them. mine went in half in a game too, much to the amusement of my team mates but I had netted all winter with it and it was perfect, you know when you get a bat and it just feels perfect?

but thanks to the brilliant service at H4L I have replaced it now, and a bit of help from @simonmay5  who let me one of his rocket launchers for a while i'm now happy as Larry

With it being Jason Roy it obviously had to snap in half playing a forward defensive in the nets!

There's a video of it on FB now that's quite amusing as he holds the pose and Finn collect the other 90% of the bat!
