Title: le Viper [My second bat]
Post by: RossViper on November 20, 2011, 12:56:16 PM
Well, I did this months and months ago, but have only got round to putting up some pictures now.

The weight, 2.9-11 depends on how many clothes she's wearing. 
No concaving,
High middle 
Thin shoulders and toes
Its a bit like a gn Excalibur/Powerpot, but with a higher/stepper middle.

It was good fun, I battled with the toe shape mainly, its ok, but not great.

Comments welcome...;-)

FYI, I'm thinking of adopting a naming convention after politicians, this one I might call the Michael Portillo, it has a long toe, its looks like his long face!

Would it be called the Portillo because it likes balls?

I love those stickers, so simple but effective! With a white background and gold letters, they would look the dogs!

I'll give that a go, I will struggle with the gold through, as these are printed off a lazer printer!

Really nice looking bat and from the pics it looks like a good all round finish and even well balanced shape!!!

There's something very GM about the shape, and for that reason I like it :)
