Title: Anyone thought about making their own scoop
Post by: 97notout on April 05, 2012, 04:43:09 PM: Now I might be leaving myself open to a bit of pee taking, which I don't mind, but has anyone considered having a go at making their own scoop.

It's just that there seems to be some pretty skillfull bat makers or fledgling bat makers on this forum and I just wondered is there anyone considering it.

Personally I'm c.....p with anything wood wise but I've seen some good efforts by some on here

Scoop is patented. I think it might be a good idea to try but not sure about the legal issues..

Post by: Red Ink Cricket on April 05, 2012, 07:25:09 PM: I've considered it but wondered how the scoop was produced. I remember seeing pics on here from GN. Looked like maybe routed out or something similar. Looked precise. Im more than happy to give it a go if someone wants one.
