What would be the impact of these blemishes on performance and durability?

Expert advice from the forum greatly appreciated.

And aslong as it's pressed correctly, will have no bearing on any future use.

Post by: ozcfa on December 06, 2016, 10:40:19 AM: Received this bat today. Amazing bat. Such a big bat for 2lb 5oz, with 38mm edge, 60mm spine. Pick up is amazing, ping so far seems v impressive. Face is ugly but fibre sheet is doing its job.

Really happy with the purchase.
Many thanks to Vitas.

It may actually be better to have that imperfection near the toe since it is harder, it won't break/split that easily.
