This is the problem when Instagram/social media or the likes of CBF declare something to be the new must have. Causes issues for retailers and people wasting their time.

I've probably lost days of my life dealing with people looking for 45mm splice measurement and 20mm shoulders, as then they won't get shoulder damage. Or some other similar very questionable request 😆

Hunts Turbo was the original. They then started doing it on all their bats. They may still do, although much of their own brand range is thought to be imported.

Meuleman's in Australia have just released the GN Air, which is similar to the Neocore but has a normal handle/splice. Still has a hole drilled out the middle from the splice down

It's in line with what they've done in the past I believe with the hollow core technology - the hole is not as large as the Neocore, hence why they can splice it normally. I believe their Ultimate 1000s used this too. Hunts have also been doing this in the past, and may still do

It was a B1 - 2lb 10. I've used it in a match now and it made a nice sound

Hi guys, I've been experimenting with putting a new toe on my bat. I've tried shoe goo, it gradually ripped off. I've also tried glueing various rubber toes on, but they just come off also. I'm now getting a bit fed up of the faff, and looking for a simple paint on solution, something not glued on. I was wondering about epoxy or rubber paint, or even something simple like boat varnish or a roofing paint. Ideally it would be relatively simple, hard wearing, look like a finished solution, and not be too much faff. Any ideas please?
