Title: Special bat repair
Post by: brokenbat on April 16, 2020, 04:46:13 PM: Extremely fortunate to get my hands on this. It’s the only real pro bat I own. Took a while to repair - but quite pleased with the final result.

I was watching some highlights and saw Eoin Morgan's bat - He scored 70 + with this one

Yes, he used to add a lot to the top of his handles - it wasn’t done by the manufacturer. I believe Sangakkara and BMac used to do the same.
