Drying crack at the shoulder - completely glued and sealed and should not cause any issue in terms of durability or playability of the bat. Bats are waxed on the ends to minimise this occurrence in the drying process, but some do still come apart. Glued, sealed, and should not cause any problems.
Dead knot behind the toe. A natural occurrence in the cleft, and will not cause any issues being on the back of the bat.
Please see photos and video in the listing.
Typical players profile. Completely full throughout with zero concaving. Mid - low swell, with duckbill toe.
3/4 inch shorter blade, longer handle set up - same overall SH length. This set up usually improves the pick up.
