Few pics of my redback, that split this weekend. Been going like a train until now, but toe'd one and then this happened!

[Kulli]

'tis but a scratch.

[Jenko]

my paradox did a similar thing at training tonight :-(

Plus its got a crack on the edge in the middle thats creeping across the face...not cool. Got a bat sent off to H4L today to have weight reduction done to it...hoping it comes back before the paradox gives up totally!

[TommyDeeeee]

Ahh really! That's horrible. I was gutted, its been going like an absolute gun. Didnt seem to be going or anything, but that crack appeared from a surface crack right down through the toe...

I'm going to email Gary tomorrow and see what he says.

[Jenko]

Yeah I've only scored a couple of hundred runs with it.....has had more net use than anything but it has been going great as well. I feel for you mate!!!

I should prob email gary too....will take pics of mine tomorrow and throw them up here

There is a Talisman underneath that bat though, sure you'll be fine then mate
On a serious note I am sure Gary will be able to sort you out mate, unfortunate that this has happened.
I saw a Paradox LE bought by a team-mate today, looked fab
Great bats those Redbacks mine was very impressive

[TommyDeeeee]

Yeaah, me too. i got it at the end of last season and knocked it in over the winter. did about 6 hours all in all. but yeah, it was a hideous feeling when i saw this dirty ugly crack! .

Johan- yeeah, i am very lucky that i have my Talisman! that goes like a train too. - acquired it off roco.

Yeah, it's a lovely bat. the wood and pickup is awesome!

I love the new paradox profile!

Oh is that the 2.14 one? If so I heard that was a belter
I used my 30 grain Talisman today - goes like a train as well, damn pleased. Didn't use the Instinct as I had been keen to try the Talisman out
The Paradox was impressive, people commented on it from the oppo it looked ace

[Perkins17]

you have aarons talisman oh you are lucky ! but not a massive crack can be fixed and it will not effect the performance to much

[Jenko]

haha did see that Talisman you lucky bugger. Gary knocked mine in for me lol. Your crack is a fair bit worse than mine...is the one creeping across the face that worries me! Ah well such is the beauty of cricket bats hey mate

[100 not out]

Heartwood is more brittle. Did I knock in toe thoroughly . Pls be honest ?

[100 not out]

Why no toe guard or shoe goo?

[TommyDeeeee]

yeaah it is the 2lb 14 one. It is absolutely unbelievable. it flies. i have been using that quite a bit lately too. That goes just aswell as the redback so i am very fortunate.

You got a 30 grain talisman?! any pics up on here anywhere dude? keen to see it! haha.

Yeah, im confident that Gary will sort me out! .

Ahh yeah, never ideal when the crack is growing! email Gary and ask for his recomendation, he obv knows his stuff!

[TommyDeeeee]

Yes, i did knock the toe in properly. the toe and edges would of easily had 4 hours...
