It is in a glass bottle in it original box, made by John Wisden & Co Ltd Penshurts Kent, and seems of some age. I am just curious toknow about it. Thanks in advance to any one with some info.

i just baught a bat, and the guy said to only oil the back because there is extract on the front, but iv u arnt supposed to why would a greg chappel shop keeper tell you tooo???
January 30th, 2010 - 01:27
yes you do. you just dont put oil on the extratec. you oil ever other area of wood tht is exposed.

He didnt mention if you dont knock in your bat properly over time you will get horizontal cracks across your bat grains.
If the ball strikes these cracks in a game it will fly off the bat, but is still doing damage.
If you have horizontal cracks its best to put fibreglass sheeting across the cracks and mostly the edge.

lol, you dont oil if you have a exteract sheet.

use wooden at 1st then either use ball mallet or an old ball in a sock
January 30th, 2010 - 03:59
ss owns them both!!!!!!!!!!!

i would knock now like in the vid and then maybe for 30min-1h near season
January 30th, 2010 - 04:06
do u need to oil then put the xtratec or the other way
January 30th, 2010 - 04:57
Yes you can, bu the the seam on the ball mallet can sometimes do more harm than good….my recommendation would be to use a specially designed wooden mallet, they only cost about $10

is there a specific sound you want to get when knocking in?
