Question for the refurb experts on here - is this kind of crack fixable at all or is this beyond repair?

i wud say none repairable looks like the wood has pretty much snapped it half. but i am no bat refurb expert

That isn't going to get repaired. You'd need to stick dowels down the length of the bat and you'd still always have a weakpoint where the join is, unless you can find an adhesive that is stronger than the wood itself.

Ona slightly odd note, I'd love to hit a ball hard and break a bat like that though, as long as it was an old and not a beloved bat....

very impressed, good customer service I have to say!!! would like to know how many other bat sellers/makers would have done the same......

Great advantage of dealing with a smaller brand!

i would expect all manufacturers to have replaced a bat that broke that had been properly prepared (as long as was still under warranty)

razor2000nz · « **Reply #23 on:** May 05, 2011, 04:17:08 PM »

found out last night that my replacement wont be ready for another 3 weeks, so it will have been 6 weeks from the date it snapped when the replacement arrives :-(

3 weeks is a long time. The batmaker must be away otherwise I don't understand that wait

razor2000nz · « **Reply #25 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:02:14 PM »

nope he's not away, emailed me saying there was a 3 week waiting list

langer17 · « **Reply #26 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:15:08 PM »

Fair enough people have orders, but if you have a bat that has broken while still under warranty, surely you are placed at the front of the list. But at least you will get one, so that's something to look forward too.

After 5 weeks of waiting it was fair to say i was starting to get a little peeved off with out a replacement bat, and thinking about telling you lot that the next time I'm in the market for a bat i wouldn't be going to SAF..........

Then i picked this up from the post office this morning........

this would have to be one of the best looking bats i have seen in the flesh. (15 grains I counted)

Now the question of would i use SAF again when I'm after a bat??.......more than likely
