Most likely storm damage. Is the bat particularly dry?

And does the bat have any faint grey areas, with what looks like micro cracking?

It's definitely storm damaged! Don't know if heavy taping will help.

It does look like the result of storm damage, but I don't see the characteristic lightning bolt marks - I take it thus damage has appeared after some use?
