Player on DD's team has an LXT that is out of warranty. The handle has a little wiggle and the dad was asking if there was anyway to glue the handle in place. The bat seems is great condition and has no other issues with it.

I don't think that gluing it would work if there is a wobble in the connection between the handle and the barrel since the connection is internal. BTW our team had 4 bats rejected for connection wobble - all 4 were Louisville Slugger bats out of warranty...

Right there's your answer FP86. Tell that dad it's Christmas time!

If it is out of warranty I would try gluing it just because you have nothing to lose. Use a marine grade epoxy that has some flexibility. Super Glue is too rigid and will break free with just a few swings. I would suggest getting your DD a new bat for Christmas and plan to use the one with the wobble for BP.

It sounds like the bat is becoming a rules violation. Gluing it together would almost certainly be construed as a rules violation. There are no rules in BP.

I second the vote for marine epoxy (available on Amazon). I have successfully used this on an end cap that came loose...uhhh...I mean my friend did.

I also vote for making it a BP-only bat.
