Title: Damaged my Joker!
Post by: longy0710 on July 07, 2010, 07:56:42 AM
Last night i caught one right off the toe end with my joker and it has lifted part of the face from the toe.  I have taken it to a bat repairer who says it is just a case of glueing the toe and then fitting a toe guard.  Will this be fine or should i be doing something different.  The spilt is about 1" - 1-1/2" long and open about 1/4".

Must say i nearly cried when it happened! lol

i just hope the fix goes ok and doesn't affect the performance.  I hate damaging a bat that goes really well.

may make the toe a little bit dead? although that wont make that much difference to performance if your a good batsman ;)
