My B3 took this today on a nothing cut shot.




I'm no expert hence asking but is there anything I can do? Bat was knocked in properly and all that stuff. I've sent Streaky an email but if I was being honest I'm not holding out for much.

Looks goosed to me unfortunately chap

Looks like either a shake crack where the handle has been put in too tight causing a compression crack that has then spread and exploded with use or storm damage to me, or a mixture of both, dependent on how old the bat is you should be able to get a replacement

Bought it in January as part of B3s 50% jig.

R.I.P

I would agree it looks like the Handel was tight and the bat broke at the weakest point

[rickjames]

Cheers gents, as least its all mildly comforting.

[simonmay5]

I would speake to b3 as its under a year old and if the handle has been put it in to tight they might even replace it

[rickjames]

I'll just wait and see what they say, I'm just glad the season is over with so I can't get super sad over it.

How will they know it's a B3 though? There aren't any stickers to confirm what brand it is...

Very, very, good point, Cameron.

Handle could be too tight as others have said
Also worth looking at the back half of the bat and look closely for fine horizontal lines going across the grain

This happened to my h4l except it went in two.

Pics look too big in my browser to hard to see the crack in relation to rest of the bat.

I thought their pressing precludes such edge cracks and breaks.

Yeah it's just a small edge crack, will sand out 🙊😂😂😂

If its had a full seasons use, seems a tad harsh to expect a replacement
