Ive done this to a club bat last season, and its been used in untrained anger by many players, including sloggers, and the dowels seem to keep it holding up. No show of further breakage.

Look forward to seing it cleaned up.

After the repair try adding more binding so that it finishes much lower on the shoulders, I've done this 2-3 time on CA bats (always (No Swearing Please) handles) and they've always held up pretty well.

You could put  wood screws in it could  help secure the repair I wouil drill small pilot holes where the screws are to go to prevent the shoulder splitting when you insert the screws countersink the screw head so it is not visible also apply wood filler or  a mixture of sawdust and PVA to fill the  countersink holes and hide  the screws

Sneaky buggars! May as well add TAS inserts to ensure the performance isnt lost [emoji6]

more  of an  anaesthetic thought than a sneaky one

Finished up the job now. Being my first attempt at a major repair I'm happy with how it went but the re application of the labels has made it a touch scruffy. Hopefully it lasts for a few more games for my team mate. He will be using it this Sat so I'll let you know if it survives.

If anyone knows how to reduce the size of the images I'm posting let me know, hosted on imageshack, taken with an iPhone.

Sanded the edges




Tape applied



Bound the lower 2 inches


Finished

Looks like a good job done. I probably would have put edge tape all the way down the bat. Looks like it needs a touch of oil?

This makes me physically sick looking at these photos

I hope the repair holds for a while, you'll have to tell us all how it feels in the hands when playing shots.

Why physically sick

Seeing a bat in so much pain, You should ask Matt at H4L to see if you can get some new stickers for it.

From previous experience he is very reluctant to send labels out, fair enough too.

That is some nice repair work.

Hated the way the labels and tape looked so took them off and re applied the tape, looks much tidier now. For the first time in a couple of years our game was rained off so the bat wasn't tested.

Did you keep the G1 on there on purpose, i weirdly like it
