I decided to give it to a mate who can take it down to hunts for me to make into a longer handle maxigoose (need to think of a better hybrid name). The blade should still be a decent length to use as a gimmick bat so thats fine by me. I have just stripped the stickers off now and the wood is beautiful, with no marks/blemishes/butterfly stains or anything in sight.. Now I wish it didn't get broken as it sure was something special!

When I pulled the stickers off, the silver outlines of the SS and upwards arrows on the main sticker has stayed on the bat with just the wood showing around it and I am somehow drawn to it more than when it had a lot of the blade covered with the black and red etc. I'd love to see something like that from SS and to show what I am blabbing about I will post up pictures tomorrow

Same happened to my CA15000 & few of my teammates CA bats. Bats from India/Pakistan seems to be over dried.

I've seen bigger breaks doweled up successfully, good luck with the shortening plan though!

Currently having my SS repaired by John at Red Ink which has a worse toe break than that!

A reminder perhaps of why we should not take a decent bat to nets

Never take nice bats to nets.

Definitely have to invest in a net bat now after seeing this.

There's a definite echo in here

I don't think you should take a nice bat to the nets either

Need several net bats! I have 3.....

the only thing worse than breaking your own bat at nets is lending your best bat to a mate 'to have a try' and he breaks it then gives it back to you-which is exactly what happened to my mate last year.

I'm convinced balls people bring to nets are such poor quality and the combination of low bounce the bat's got no chance.

I know it's a bit extreme but I would personally remove someone gonands with a spoon if they damaged by bat with a cheap hockey ball.

Yes....I know it's a bit OTT but some people have to learn the hard way.

echo, er sorry, I mean second that

The silly thing was that the ball that finished the bat off was a lincs league ball, the main issue was him trying to swing as hard as possible on a yorker! Its alright though, the collection is dropping from 14 to 10 or so shortly (i hope)... I think based on the result of how long this bat has lasted (only a few months with little use) I will be making a swift move away from SS after this season. A lot of my all-white gear will be making its way out onto the for sale thread shortly

I'm lucky - I just get clean bowled by yorkers.

Time for last rites...

[kaartman]

it will make a good fielding practice bat 

[Calzehbhoy]

Screw it together and hide the screw with bat tape... You'll be fine
