Most village thing done to a bat
« on: June 30, 2017, 11:57:28 PM »
After tweaking a few bats in a more "normal" way (tape etc to change handle, trimming handle/blade length, etc) I think I am now eligible for the most village award...

...had a custom bat that broke early. Manufacturer replaced under warranty, and I was happy using the broken one in nets against those terrible balls. But....New bat was just half an ounce heavier than the broken one and i started getting paranoid about the two not weighing the same.

And So, I proceeded to put a thick (the ones that come free with CA) scuff sheet on the BACK side of the bat, AND taped the BACK edges, along with wrapping some extra tape around the shoulder and toe. Loe and behold, the two bats now weigh the same. Village!!

Electrical tape wrapped around bats annoys me no end.

I played in an evening league game once and as the new batsman walked out, we asked if he could knock the stump in as it was loose. Instead of using the handle, he gave it a good whack with the face.... Thank god it was only a SportsDirect bat!

I'm with you there @skip1973!! Used to play against a fella who had a good foot of electrical tape around the middle of his bat, just awful

I have a Fusion bat where the previous owner has hammered a long metallic nail into the edge to prevent a potential split in the toe.
