Overseas bat with nail in
« on: February 18, 2015, 08:28:35 PM »

Hi guys I bought a really nice bat the offer day from a well know source when I was knocking the bat in I decided to change the grip when I rolled the grip down I found to my horror a nail that has rusted in going though the Handle

A novel way to do a counterweight! Check there isn't any cocaine inside the bat!

As its a small tack Shouldn't be detremantal to the bats performance could apply wood filler but not exceptable ask for your money back.

Well that is something I haven't seen before. Unless it's the perfect bat for you, I would send it back. Too much doubt of why it's there and if it's going to break.

The bat maker was not expecting you to roll down the grip.  :D

Return the bat, get your Money back. Tell us about the bat maker so that we check our handles as well.

It's always distressing when you find something like this on your pride and joy. I don't envy you having to get a refund or replacement from overseas. Fingers crossed it works out. This is why you should use a forum sponsor so you can take it back to them!

Is that a water stain on the twine?

No it's where the glue has not been applied to that area

You'll still have to pay for return postage out of your own pocket

It seems that I would be better to pay and get a decent Handel in it as it's going to cost about 25 pounds to send back

I'm pretty sure it's not the only time on this forum the nail in the handle topic has been posted.
