Can it be repaired?
« on: July 11, 2013, 08:25:09 PM »

Club pro said If I could repair this, I would be able to keep it. Any suggestions on how to repair it? I don't know how to do this one

Also I have spare bits of english willow wood around the house but I don't have the chunk from this bat

Get a load of glue in the bit that's still there.

Do you have the missing piece?  If so, once the middle bit is sorted, glue it back on, maybe some dowels or a screw, perhaps just twine it.  If not, square off and use a piece from an old bat.

Toe will not be brilliant, as long as you save the middle.

Mate can easily be repaired, as Heworth said, square it off with a chisel, after glueing the middle bit, cut a piece to size and glue, then twine tape and any thing else to hold it together

I think if you shave off a bit of wood so that the joining part is straight, then it's easy to cut out a bit of wood which matches that shape. :) It should be straightforward enough, but might take a while! Also, while you're at it, get rid of that horrible scuff sheet! ;)

If you have the piece that has come away then yes quite easily just by glueing and binding it together then sanding will look good as new.

If not then still be done but I would get a pro to do it and give it a full refurb, would cost about £40 and you would get a new looking M&H solution G1 for that if the pro gave it to you. You lucky man.

Got to agree that's a great looking stick and a easily fixable as soulman said get it done professionally and you have a great bat back

Check with Dean @ Vulcan, he might be able to help. Nice bat, don't give up on it just yet ...

Piss, it can be fixed, do you have the other bit?

How long it lasts is in the lap of the gods

Afraid not mate, thats what makes it hard. I think M&H dont want to be responsible for it if it brakes again within a few games so I think they dont want to do it

Right, after several months sitting in M&H I finally remembered about this bat and asked if they could ship it back. It's arrived back today. Going to have a crack at fixing this. Its too good a bat not. Honestly the performance on this bat is insane, I just hope it turns out ok!
