Bat handle keeps clicking..
« on: June 27, 2012, 10:26:27 AM »

Hey guys, just wanted to get your opinion's and any knowledge that you might have on this. Whenever I pick up my bat, you can hear a clicking sound from the handle, does this mean anything? If you wave it about as such you can hear it too. I'd say that the clicking comes and goes but always keeps turning up! ???

sounds like a break in the handle. not good as it sounds like a nick! will add a bit of extra whip in your shots which isnt a bad thing

Could be the glue in the sections between the rubber and cane has let go and is causing a bit of movement which in turn is causing a clicking noise.

Number4 is spot on with his diagnosis I would imagine, every one i've heard of with a clicking handle has been due to the glue between cane and rubber.

In my experience when the handles is making a clicking noise it needs replaced, when this has happened to me or my team mates generally its because the handle is loose in the join.
