My poor Talisman
« on: January 24, 2012, 10:07:57 PM »
Nets started and straight away I get one at the top of the bat. Shoulder cracked and handle knocked out! (You can see it sticking out at the splice in the first image)
Anyone know/can recommend a good bat repair service?
Sorry for the rotated images, no idea why they've uploaded like they have...

Bat Repairs who advertise on here do a good job at a decent price.

It's a pain but it shouldn't be too tricky (or expensive) to repair. Bat Repairs as mentioned above do a good job. Have you spoken to the seller about it? (I assume you bought it new?)  :)

I tried emailing via the address I used to buy it but no reply. Only used it the second half of last season! Just fancy getting a top notch repair by someone who comes recommended.
(As I'm typing this there's a huge banner with batrepairs.com on it! Will have a look into that)

these talisman bats do seem to break frequently. Seem to remember a couple of other people having handle problems on the forum or do I have a selective memory?

Most are but some are just good sticks that Mike sourced through his contacts and stickered up for customers if they wanted...

I have not seen this being mentioned when Talisman bats were resold on the forum. Maybe other members were more aware than I was.

Maybe some just didn't know.... It wouldn't be the first time.

It's not something, to my knowledge, that has ever been hidden. Like I said, most (90%+) bats with stickers are TK made but some are sourced elsewhere and Mike applied some stickers if the buyer asked him to. Most of the time he would sell them blank though...

The proper TK Talisman bats are £200 if I remember correctly, mine was only £100 and only has the 'Storm' rather than 'Perfect Storm' stickers because of this
