Hi Rangapride

I bought the britbat in february as I was sick of having my wooden bats smashed up

needless to say, it sucks and on certain pucks it is downright unusable.

however Benson pointed out that a lot of the problem of the bat breakage was the angle I was holding the bat at. This was putting a lot of stress on the wood (and my thumb) which is why my bats were breaking and my thumb was aching constantly

by adjusting the angle I held the bat, the pressure from a tackle is now directed and absorbed by my arm now rather than the wood of the bat and my thumb

I've gone back to the wooden bats and in the last 3 months even though I get bashed to hell, I'm yet to break one or get any real pain in my thumb like I used to.
