Title: Re: ST Extreme
Post by: GarrettJ on May 31, 2012, 07:52:53 PM: Looks great, interesting shape too. Agree its similar to a SS jumbo.

What you have applied to the toe?

Post by: Vulcan Cricket on May 31, 2012, 07:53:52 PM: its more df magnum jumbo had massive scoop out
Title: Re: ST Extreme
Post by: mad_abt_cricket on May 31, 2012, 07:55:04 PM: Thank you!

It is something similar to shoe goo which I find here.

Thanks Tushar. I used an oversize cleft to make this bat. The starting weight was aroun 1750 gms ( above 4 lbs).

The same profile can be made with a lower weight, the only difference will be lesser edges and a bit lower spine.

Post by: GarrettJ on June 01, 2012, 07:23:37 AM: Where do you get the oversize clefts from and how did you press or is it the shaping you do and someone else sorts the handle and pressing?
Title: Re: ST Extreme
Post by: Blazer on June 01, 2012, 08:16:29 AM: Lovely mate. You seem to be a natural at batmaking :). Love the profile but not the scooping. Where would you have taken the weight off if scooping wasn't an option ?
