Small Cracks along grain lines
« on: April 23, 2009, 06:36:55 PM »
I've played two matches this season and hit 44 and 133 and unfortunately after hitting the latter a few slithery cracks have appeared along the grains (one pretty reasonable one). Is this normal? It still plays alright, and I guess if i knock the cracks in they will "solidify" and pack together securely... its just a little aesthetically unpleasing!!

I just knocked them in when I got some on my bat - the bat was pretty soft to start with.

It is a good sign for performance, just fit anti scuff to hold it all together.
