remember reading somewhere that dowlling causes a dead spot and doesn't do much more than glue - in fact I think it might weaken the bat. That's one for the experts!

Yes, but as it's in the toe, it's a dead spot already! To be fair, once a crack gets above a couple of inches, glueing it tends to leave a dead spot too.

I'd dowel it with some wood glue personally and see how it goes, drill in deep enough to help pull the crack together with the dowelling...I use a glue called woodweld which expands upon drying to fill the area and well and bonding it together

I'm happy to try and get it fully fixed for you, if it is only 2 inches then it should play fine afterwards.

I have seen people nail their bats to fix cracks. Apart from the cosmetic side, does nailing actually work?

cant imagine its strictly legal and if ur going to use anything a screw would be better as it will pull and keep the wood together better

saw this particular bat in action in a Lords Taverners game at the Harrogate over 40's tournament. I don't think anyone really cared!

I attempted to screw the shoulder back onto my old bat. I failed.
