hope the pictures load up.
They don't..
-
Is that one of Joe Leach's bats? Looks like a solid repair job.
-
i just re did the pictures so hope they work now.
yeah its one from Joe Leach he said it was his best bat until it broke
-
That's a small split to give up on your best bat.
-
i was surprised when he said about the split i was expecting it to have gone through the toe. not sure why he didnt get it fixed himself.
im lucky that its the same weight as i use so will probably be my match bat next year.
-
Job well done I say.
-
Dem grains!
Bet that'd be worth a fortune if it didn't have the split. Was the guy you got it from chucking it? Madness!
Looks like a good repair though, nice work.
-
Looks like a job well done . One thing I've noticed though on facebook pics of similar repairs is a second clamp used with the clamp touching each edge .
-
Oh .....and believe it or not I've recently seen sticky tape used instead of string/rope for binding the crack down . Apparently its really clamps down well , but just seams a bit wrong/ counter-intuitive to me . But thought I'd mention it since it was an actual professional batmaker doing the repair .

Job looks a good 'un. Plenty of glue and binding and a clamp to boot.
Always a pain getting enough clamping force in the right direction and so that the clamp doesn't slip off.

Stretchy parcel tape is extremely effective. I use it in conjunction with a clamp or two for all manner of cracks and splits
-
I often wonder how many pro bats with reputable damage just get binned.
-
I've founded stretchy the tape is really useful for edge cracks and also in conjunction with clamps for bigger cracks, especially for those where it's difficult to get a clamp on such as edge cracks
-
I agree with some of u guys.... parcel tape is a great option to repair some cracks.... i use it in my repairs as clamps are tricky to use in some areas of the bat.

By the way great repair... i suggest to reinforce the repair with tape or my preferred option twine...
