dumb arse me, why don't I post a photo so everyone knows what I'm talking about. I have also included the small flipper bays even though the thread was about the larger ones. But might as well get the heads up on both as I will be replacing both sets

My intention is to try and remove the existing shafts from the old bats and insert them into the new. Is this a mission impossible where I break my existing and cannot fit the new bats?
