Took this bat to nets today and this is what happened. I clearly missed a spot when knocking but luckily I applied scuff sheet before nets.
Is this crack only scuff sheet cracked or wood underneath.
How could I fix it. Do I have to take sheet off or is there any way around it.
-
That is the ball used nothing to do with your knocking in.
-
Could this be fixed or its nothing to worry about.
This is the bat I really like so would like it to be fixed if it's concerning.
-
Pretty sure it’s mostly the scuffsheet. But worth removing it and have a look.
-
To remove scuff should I heat it first with hair dryer?
-
First Take the sheet off using an hair dryer there's posts on here explaining how To remove it without damaging the bat face clean of the residue and gently find sand out any damage along the grain on completion of sanding re knock the bat in

This is what I found under scuff. That small knot or Mark seemed like opened up a bit after impact. It wasn't like this before.
-
IMO on ball impact the harder knot as widened and as caused a the softer wood around it to split may need a spot of glue i would give it a sand.
-
thank you . i have applied some glue and will sand in evening .
will update after sanding for further assistance .
-
What were you hitting with it?
-
Looks quite dry as well maybe a light oil after the glue and a decent quality scuff sheet

@simonmay5 any recommendation for quality scuff sheet? i be grateful.

@Ayrtek Cricket have some good scuffs
-
If you only want a single sheet try this one. They are good quality cut from a roll.

If you have a few bats I suggest you buy a 2m length from vitas cricket.
-
In addition to the scuff I would buy some quality 2nd hand balls for nets as what ever you were facing must have been like a lead shot to cause that mate. the most overlooked aspect of damage to bats in my opinion is the amount of poor quality cheap balls used espically at nets
-
Thank you everyone. I believed club used quality balls. As they are been used so can't read make name on them but I will speak to captain.
I glued and sanded bat with extra coat of oil as suggested it was bit dry. Bat seems fine now but damage has been done already

@Gurujames Could you provide contact detail for Vitas I thought they stopped doing business.
And if anyone got spare quality used balls for free I cover the postage or I am happy to pay otherwise.

Speak to @Ayrtek Cricket Tom sent me 2m on a roll recently for a decent price!
