Nice new stickers, thin edges again, I reckon your edge-ist. What's the weight? Not the biggest of looking bats.
-
Specs?
-
I reckon that's gotta be 2.5 all in?
-
2-6 with a double grip
-
2.10
-
2.9 Not lways the biggest but lovely bats have another on order ;)
-
2.2
-
long blade, English made, not Indian dried, so 2lbs 9 with grip and stickers.
-
Got mine today and hand delivered by the man himself in a tie!!!
Unsure how to post pics on here though? It's sweet 8)
-
upload the pics to Imageshack and copy the forum link into the post.

here is a little sneak preview of mine on the scales (with my slightly odd - and heavy grip set up...!)

It's rather nice, but I haven't yet had the chance to test it with a mallet. The best feedback I can give is that it picks up well and probably weighs around 2lb10oz. Ohe, and it's a more traditional shape, so has plenty of wood where it's needed!

What shape did you get ?
-
Tim, how many bats do you have??
Buzz, nice
-
mine seems to be a cross between an Orign and a MechTen - but I have the infinity stickers still to put on it!

Having done a little count up, 23. Of those, there are 6 Sports Direct Slazengers, two of which are pretty amazing for the price, three of which are very good for the price and one which is a bit of a dog. So, you could say 16 proper bats and two T20 bats, plus some over-zealous time in SD...
Just wait til the better pictures appear...

Thanks Joe
I think this is right

the bat looks and feels much better than the pics...
(please excuse the toe guard, I haven't finished putting it on yet...)

Vaper - Is it me or is the infinity sticker on the back slightly off centre? I love the SAF profiles, but prefer the 2011 stickers. That said, I like these ones as well.

Looking forward to nets now!

All looking good. Looking forward to mine thats being made in January

Had the chance to spend a bit more time, so here's a brief first impressions and a few more pictures.
It doesn't have massive edges and has a very traditional looking shape, but what surprised me mostly was the weight. I've mentioned before it picks up well, but I'd never have guessed that it weighs 2lb11oz. Andy has done a fantastic job on the balance of the bat. I've had a brief tap with the mallet and it seems to have a long middle and taps up nicely. I'll be taking it to nets on wednesday night to find out more. First impression is that it looks good and picks up well. Can't wait to see the reaction against some real balls!

They are the self healing type,with matt finish(similar to TLB ones ?).I would say they are quite good. :)
-
Did you re-grip it Blazer sure it left with one on?

What grips are on the SAF bats this year

What grips are on the SAF bats this year
Standard grips Paul decided they make no difference other then preference, ie ribbed, thick, chevron etc etc.
-
Cheers, be good to receive the Hades.
been hearing great things on the shape.

Its the same grip that came with it Norbs. I tinkered with a half spiral grip inside it, doesn't work for me as I have small hands.

She'll take a least 2 chevrons without effecting the "ping pints" just glad you are happy with her

Not sure whether to oil or antiscuff
-
She is nice, very nice
-
Nice, love saf bats...good work Norbs!
-
she sure is Andy called her a minx & offered to have her back already.
-
looks lovely.
-
That's very nice - same profile as the bat I made.
-
Very very nice profile, lovely looking bat, I'm sure it's a bloody gun :D
-
Really Joe? As I understand it, he Hades is precision designed. Very jealous, I really want one!
-
Well, roughly. Mid middle, concaved, high-ish spine and an offset edge.

Hades mid to low middle can be moved higher but not lower, offset edge, balanced and swing (mmoi) to place sweet spot in hitting area for middle type ordered. Pressing type differs slightly as well on the Hades.
Ps. Nothing like yours imho different edge type and position and spine to shoulder also different, middle spine differs at toe as well I think. That said I like yours Joe but I think they are different
-
Thanks Andy think she is going to be absolute gun like you said middle feels ridiculously long & off the mallet she sounds so sweet.
-
Lovely bat mate,Hope it goes well for you. The bat looks like 3/4 is the middle. Iam really tempted to get one for next year.
-
Used at nets on bowling machine for a short session. Think I am going to enjoy this + think its gonna be an absolutele gun.
-
Received mine back from Andy yesterday after he made it a couple of ounces lighter. It is a fabrica but i now have the new infinity stickers applied and they look good. Hopefully put it to good use!
