Hi,

I know this may sound odd but How do you remove the handle from the bat without damaging the cleft or bat?

Thanks

band saw would do it i think.

Loosen the glue somehow?

Loosen the glue somehow?

I think that would be extremely hard....

[Colesy]

Ok, send it to someone?

[niceonechoppy]

Simply don't have the time or effort to do that, just want a quick way to safely remove the handle...

[slogger02]

if you want to do it youself you will have to do it carefully with a hacksaw or somthing similiar.  unless you have a large electric saw hanging around.

Unfortunately I don't, would a dense hammer do the trick and knock the handle out of place?

[slogger02]

if you think about it thats effectively what a ball is doing, the handle(the contact point i.e the glue) will experience the same forces from ball on blade or hammer on handle. so no....

Use a jig on a circular saw, pre cut the handle out to a set width so that a new handle can be cut to the correct width to re fit.

I do know one person that sits the bats over a tea urn and steams them out, a terrible way to ruin a bat.....

Thanks Talisman, i'll give that a go tomorrow....
