Distinction weighs in at 2.9 and a bit with one grip. 25mm edges and approx 60 spine height. Made from a standard size grade 2 cleft so edges are slightly thinner than i would do with a oversized cleft. good pick up.
classis shape weighs in pretty much the same. no concaving. 20mm edges and approx 45mm spine. grade 3 willow
sorry about the pics.

Both look lovely mate! Distinction shape looks like a corker!
-
They look really good! Distinction looks excellent. As ever, the question I ask to everyone who has made a bat, how did you do the concaving?
-
think i definately need to learn to take better pics.
concaving wise i use a combination of a handful of round bottom planes and a couple of travishers. depends on how much concaving im doing
-
Laveresque?
-
i do have a laveresque/ michael clarke shape bat im working on but this is a distinction profile. pictures dont really do it justice
-
Bloody nice Distinction John, love that profile but cant justify paying M&H that kind of money!
-
im the same. thats why i made my own lol.
-
Very good :D
Bet your happy with them! Looks like you've gone for the new 2011 distinction profile.
-
Yeah with all the talk recently about it I thought I'd give it a go. Much prefer it to the old
Shape distinction.
-
So do I. That's the shape I've attempted for simmy. Still only rough shaping done. Just can't believe how massive it still is lol
-
They look really nice :)
What does the mallet test say? Any thoughts of using them yourself in the near future?
-
Great stuff Johnners. Reckon you could start selling that distinction.

I knew that was coming Rob--- was wondering where you were ;)

I didn't want to dissapoint ;) that said I think I've ordered one custom made from a bat maker. Not heard back yet, maybe my requests were to extreme!!

I use my own shaped bats anyway. Scored over 1700 with one
Last year. Not sure these will get used. Not by me anyway. Probably sell them. Both rebound well. Would be better after knocking in etc

More than happy to give it a go for anyone interested. Won't charge what m&h do either lol
