2021 Season - Bat Casualties
« on: April 16, 2021, 05:33:28 PM »
First time damaging a bat in a terminal/detrimental way in a long time, (2016 - SS LE, the best bat I've ever used) so figured I'd start up a wee thread for any breakages during the season to pay respects to lost willow.  :(


I had this beauty of a GN Oblivion Stealth Players, made in the UK, and probably a downgraded Pro Performance. Should still be covered under warranty, but heartbreaking nonetheless, as I had only used for one session. Absolutely creamed about 5 coverdrives in a row where I only leaned into the shots, and absolute cannon...

It was tiny too, 2.11, 56mm spine and 37mm edges - goes to show volume means nothing - all in the quality of the willow and the batmaker's skill.











Do share which ones you've broken, could even be past loves from a few seasons ago!

Friends SS, just been refurbed after only being used for the mini season last year. He probably got about 20 balls out of it post refurb...

I’ll try to get pics from a team mate, but he had a brand new G&P split across the face into the edges first time he used it. Company taped it up and said it would be ok for a few weeks but promised a replacement. Snapped in two in the nets last night. Either the handle was fitted far too tight, or storm damaged.

Mines gone 6 games in  :( Had it a few years but only started using it this season. Absolutely gutted it’s gone so quickly as it was an absolute cannon. Will have to take it into Hunts County Bats on Tuesday see if it can be saved

Goodbye My Lover (James Blunt) should fulfil your needs!
