i was really bored so i decided to take the piss a little......probably makes me as bad as him at the end of the day. Anyway - should anyone want to save time, go out to your backyard, pick up a stone, hit it against your bat and hey presto - bat is knocked in!!!
You can use hard objects to knock a bat in (coopers hammer or lignum vitae) but these have to be used very carefully otherwise you could completely mess up a bat, i just didnt want forum members to take up his idea and start smashing rocks against bats!!!
