And putting a scuff sheet would help imo...

I have already bought scuff sheet but just wanted to make sure the bat is dried as I oiled it 3-4 weeks ago.
Thanks for your reply,

its just get wet and the wood swelled, when it dried it has split a bit.

Simply get out a sander and sand it off and it will be as good as new.

Thanks for your reply.

3-4 weeks is a good time for a willow to soak oil....if you still have doubts then you can still sand it and then apply scuff sheet....

I understand. I shall apply scuff sheet after a bit of sanding the surface. Cheers.

cracks down the grains is not a problem, its a sine of a good bat, the cracks only happen because there is no suff sheet, apple the scuff sheet and everything will be fine

oiling will not make the bat feel heavier. No chance of oiling it that much to actually notice a difference. Unless it's been overdried and then left in a warm damp area where it could take on moisture it should weigh the same

it might be over dried but never put on damp area.

just that one match that I played was in light rain and the bat was wet a bit so I put that near by closed window to get some sun lights. would that make my bat heavier ?

Thanks for your reply.

Putting a damp bat in sunlight magnified by a window can  damage your bat.

Alternatively  If you don't want to sand your bat you could fill the vertical cracks with super glue  allow to harden then apply scuff I did this for someone whose bat had a six inch long split and he's still using it.

This particular case doesn't need anything that drastic though, surely?

Looking at the photo believe it to be a viable alternative to sanding.

Personally I would never use superglue to repair a bat. Too brittle and tends to break and break the bat around it.

A simple fine sand will resolve the surface cracks. Will level then out then apply a scuff sheet
