I believe that the extension of the blade into the handle has been subject to MCC interference, quite what the problem is I do not know, the long join merely restricts flex. It would appear that Mongoose are looking to recall or at least show willingness to correct this to comply with the MCC. I would like it if Tom could post the full reason for the MCC ruling on here as it seems very unfair for Mongoose to have to refurbish and modify several hundred bats at their own expense.
