Title: My Charlie French Premier Cru
Post by: yvk3103 on March 14, 2011, 09:37:14 PM

Got this the other day.

2.8/2.9
12 grains
good size edges
very good pick-up
performance - to be honest think this will beat my Black Cat Shadow

I'll let the pictures do the talk

good looking bat and as i have used cf in the past a under rated maker indeed.

Love it bud and a bloody good price for a hand made bat

Bit late I'm already aware as i considered buying it from him, would suggest someone snaps this up if Yash is still selling.

Looks top quality and wouldn't expect anything less from Charlie the only brand I use, got a new one due shortly! And started from scratch in his garden shed at cuckney business has grown well and now operates from cricket first which is a very good facility. Makes all bats in house by himself and also manufacturers clothing there, lovely bloke aswell.

Beautiful bat! Performance aside, I find CF bats aesthetically pleasing as well ...
