Hi Chad, can you please post some pictures of how you made the round handle into oval ? It will be of great help
Sure thing, I actually found some tape wrapped round the handle of one of the bats I purchased, which I think was some shock absorbing foam tape. I took the tape off the handle, as it just made the handle feel a little too spongy for my liking, and I just cut it into small bits and ovalled out the handles of a few bats by placing strips of it on the handle, and wrapping it with some insulating tape. I had to do two layers on this SS, as the handle was round, while the others were semi-oval.
I know you can use Tennis replacement grip tape to replicate this effect too. I guess just play around until you get it to the thickness you like! Hope this helps, if not, I'll try provide a better explanation.
Chad if you do intend using it let me know i might be able to sort something like this bat indeed
Hi Dave, I am in a bit of a dilemma at the moment, as our league uses Lord's balls, which are rock hard... I don't know if this will survive against a ball like that, but I guess I will knock and play it in carefully first. I guess it is only wood, and bats all break eventually anyways! Definitely good enough to be my match bat, that's saying something!
Beautiful bat that Chad, absolutely stunning!
Cheers bud, it really is a stunner! I kind of thought it would be perfect to sell on to you, but I'm a selfish man...
nice bat you got there chad!
Cheers Jason.
