Is your bat too heavy, or does it not have the pickup you want? Does it feel great when you tap up, but it's just not there when you play your shot? No problem. We can reduce the weight and re-balance your bat.

We can generally take out up to 5 ounces of weight by removing the labels from the back of the bat and completely re-working the shape. Please remember that reducing the weight will reduce the performance of the bat.

PLEASE NOTE: Any stickers covering the back of the bat will be removed and thrown away. If you purchase a full refurbishment, all stickers will be removed. If you'd like to keep the stickers and or grips, please remove them before sending/dropping off your bat.

We offer a crack repair service, not a crack prevention service. We don't provide any warranty on our crack repairs as we can't control what the willow will do, but we do our best to ensure they hold for as long as possible. Crack repairs are a temporary solution. We'd recommend purchasing a new bat if you want a permanent solution. If you need further details, please get in touch with us before placing an order. 

If you'd like to get some custom stickers made, one of our loyal customers often uses Super Signs in Pukekohe, NZ. They can help with one-off bat stickers, If you're interested contact Ryan at design.supersigns@gmail.com

      Bat weight reduction

      I ordered a bat online a couple years ago which I was anticipating would be a certain weight. Although what I received as top quality english willow, it was heavier than I was anticipating.

      The team at Fantail managed to reduce the weight to my specification by reshaping the handle, removing a little of the toe and applying some slight concaving to the back. The profile and bat edges were not compromised and the performance of the bat, in my experience, has been enhanced.

      These guys know their stuff. I'll definitely go back to them should I need any help with bats moving forward.

      Was a little worried I might lose the shape of the bat but Blake did an outstanding job in maintaining the shape of the blade and getting the weight down to where I wanted it. Great job on all 3 bats not to mention the other one he repaired it’s still going good.
