Broken bat opinions please.
« on: May 25, 2015, 06:26:36 PM »

I've had this bat for just under 10 months, it broke three weeks ago so around 9 months old. It has only been used in pre season nets and first few games in the season. Then I creamed a drive out of the Middle that went no where and looked down at this.
Would you expect this to be replaced?
I'm not mentioning a makers name so please don't ask.

It's a B3 mate no need for smoke and mirrors.

Thought it was 1 day shy of 12 months old pal..

I'm not trying any smoke and mirrors Dave. I've checked bank records and it was purchased on the 23rd of June

Looks a bizarre break. Storm damage?

Although shoulder issues b3 have always been spot on in there customer service with me. So always worth contacting them first

and sorry to be pedantic.  But June 23rd makes it just over 11 months old.

Apologies for the error with The months, I've got mixed up there. That's my error. It is around 10 months old at the time
Of the break. I have contacted them, that's why I wasn't going to disclose who made the bat. Haha, it's definitely not over use the amounts of runs I've scored this season.

I'm no expert that's for sure but it does look like storm damage (I had one of my old Duncan Fearnley's go like that and that's what they diagnosed!)

I'd agree, looks like storm damage to me. I'm sure it'll be sorted Tom, I've heard B3 are spot on with their customer care.

Storm damage or possibly an over compressed handle or a mixture of both. Either way b3 boys tend to get most things fixed assoon as.

Should be replaced, unless dodgy balls were used.

Looks like one hell of a post LBW dummy spit gone bad! The umpires fault!That his head imprint on the face?

Just kidding. Bit of bad luck. At least you know you're going be able to get an identical bat to replaces it! In B3 we trust.
