crack in carbon fibre bat handle. good bat recommendations please?
Permalink Closed

i have just noticed a crack where the carbon fibre handle meets the wood. its on the back, the bat seems strong enough still (i cant make it break with reasonable force). has any other fusion owner experienced this before? it seems a bit weak i.m.o. (underengineered)
i am thinking of putting some fibreglass or some type of resin around the crack.
if that isnt good enough for me i will look at a new bat i guess. can anyone suggest anything in the awesome category please? i used to have an awesome bat. a GN powerspot classic. you could block 4's with that thing. haha. it had a very light and balanced pickup too, much like the GN fusions. i am open to brands other than GN, but not kookaburra's thanks. (or slazengers ;)  ). i would appreciate the feedback on both subjects from anyone. thanks guys (and any gals)

i really seems like it has not affected the rebound qualities, so maybee itle be fine for a few more seasons. it looks severe though. would fibre glass be ok on that material? its easy to apply, and can only help if it sticks. also, which model of the cannon bats would be the acest? ;)
thanks again

My bat is the best I have had in my career yet for the whole time I have had it one third of the handle has been snapped across. You wouldn't believe how far it bends if you saw it.

Stick with it mate!

sounds lie mine still has a bit of life left then, thanks for that info goochy. it is a very cool bat, apart from this issue, which sounds minor compared to what i first imagined. mine doesnt bend, yet. im a mr. puniverse contender though, so maybee thats got something to do with that fact biggrin
a new handle is a good cheap option too i guess. i noticed haydos did that with at least one of his fusions at the end of his career. a cane handle that is.....

Hayden always had a cane handle in his Fusion , he told them to stick the carbon handle up there ar5e and just used the stickers

Get on the Cannons mate.. one I got prolly the best stick I've ever used. You'll need about 3-4 grips but because the handles are like matchsticks.

i'll have to have a look at these cannons at least. its a lot to do with pickup and weight distribution for me though, cos i'm the size of a toothpick. and i will definately get the fusion rehandled anyway. i do love that bat.
thanks for the good advice from everyone. appreciated greatly
