Every bat I have had from Mike have been top quality and wouldnt slate him at all, But I have never had the issue of waiting for months, I always received my item within a week or so but communication was always high, I had Mike dropy bats off to me at home which is about a 2 hour drive for him.

can we keep this on topic as there have been many issues with Mike -some resolved and some not - there have been many discussions on this elsewhere.

In the case of this bat - it is bust - I will pm you with a suggested approach about dealing with this bat... looks a nasty break.

My thoughts exactly, mike is a very likeable chap I was in no way having a dig at him just reminded me of my bat that broke in the handle?

It is indeed unfortunate that the bat has broken in such way,

How much use has it had out of interest?

To be honest, Canners ogles wood so his missus has been known to kiss his wood....but to be fair, ONLY his wood!! I did offer when I met her that I have my wood which was equal (and generous) proportion to Canners wood, and actually cosmetically better looking...but she was faithful to Canners wood! Respect!!

Any blemishes on your wood Pete? That might just have deterred her!

My wood was blemish-free and totally buffed to perfection!
But she is obviously a one-wood woman!

Only half a season and 2 winter nets! And to answer a few of the other Qs I never had a problem with Mike. Had the bat within a week of payment and it goes like a gun, hence why I'm very gutted about the break!

Is the shoulder crack completely separate from the cracks through the splice?
