Just wondering if this product will work as an alternative. Anyone tried something similar ?

I have seen in India, some players use badminton/Tennis raquet wire on the toe. Its like 1-2 inch wide and circled near the toe area. I found it very effective. I couldn't find a video of it anywhere so don't really know how to do it.

hi guys, at the risk of sounding dumb here, but how do you apply shoe goo? and what does it do, how does it dry etc?

cheers

my toe guard is called linseed oil and it does a fine job, doesn't add any weight and doesn't come off.

Shoe Goo is a really viscous solvent glue that you squeeze onto the toe of your bat and leave to set. Lots of people seem to get on with it but so far I've only had it scuff off where my bat meets the ground. I also found it a little tricky to apply and spread evenly over the toe. If you get your nose too close to what you're working on you'll see stars too! Should you just gloop it on and leave it to settle?

This is the fold-over thing I was talking about:

They use twine. They soak it in pva glue and wrap about half an inch around the toe, so when the glue dries it contracts and keeps the toe together.

I don't treat mine to anything special
