when my gm flare broke they sent me a new one, no trouble. best just give them a call.

According to laver, you should still get seam marks on a fully knocked in bat, and JJB is your point of call

I have GM Original LE and that too cracked from the face [grains] when I was using it for second time. I too knocked it before hand..

[Howzat]

Crack wont affect performance, just carry on using it

no it wont, but it might effect the life of the bat, if left as it is. Should I be responsible for the repair? Should this be expected from a supposed knocked in bat and am I within my rights to complain.

I'm always weary about 'ready to play bats'. I'm pretty sure GM still advise you to knock in the bat properly when you get it even though it's stated as GM NOW etc... They pride themselves on their knocking in service (according to their bat making video with swanny in)(?)

At the end of the day every bat is different and I would be very annoyed if this happened with a 'ready to play' bat, as it would seem as it's wrongly advertised.

bat returned and refund given. They tried to find another but no luck, real shame as I was getting to really like it but the damage look even worse in the sunlight, so either I had to repair it or it went back.
