Title: A couple of new sticks I've been working on today.
Post by: Ryan on May 06, 2012, 08:51:30 PM

Been working on these two bats today, both different profiles both around 2.10oz. Finished weight will be 2.12oz. Hopefully have them finished tomorrow so will ad pictures once ready. Just a couple of things left to do like checking the shoulders, two more stages of sanding, buffing, binding, sticker up and grip!

First one has edges of roughly 35mm and the second 25mm.

Both of them look top as per mate, really like the profile of the first one

Pink profile is my favourite too, the yellow one is actually a bigger profile due to the smaller edges.

Ifti was interested in a bat, can't imagine what his specs would be.
