Title: Blankbats signature model for 2013
Post by: Blank Bats on July 18, 2012, 04:45:20 PM: Hi all

thought id give you boys a preview of our top of the line bat for next season

This bat has been designed to pick-up amazingly well, whilst leaving the bulk of the wood in the hitting zone, edges arent massive @ 30mm but a high spine and elongated middle more than makes up for this.

as always here's some pics

Post by: Cover_Drive on July 19, 2012, 10:05:19 AM: I'm speechless! Amazing amazing stick. Mr. BlankBats you have my address so thanks in advance :D

Handle says "PRO" so I reckon a pro bat in real? If so then impressive, lovely shape.

Title: Re: Blankbats signature model for 2013
Post by: Blank Bats on July 19, 2012, 10:37:25 AM: we will be offering a couple of these for a decent price for reviews, these should be up in the next few days

Must be just the angle of the camera.

I'm not fussy when it comes to weight I will happily use another from 2lb9oz to 3lb2oz ;)

Post by: alba caerulea on July 26, 2012, 09:34:12 AM: Looks another classy shape. Similar to mine or no?
Title: Re: Blankbats signature model for 2013
Post by: Blank Bats on July 26, 2012, 09:37:56 AM: Similar yes. Does that profile work for you.?
Title: Re: Blankbats signature model for 2013
Post by: alba caerulea on July 26, 2012, 09:56:03 AM: Very nice and the pick-up is excellent for such a meaty middle. Recently gone down from 2.5 grips to 1.5 and it seems to suit the profile as I'm hitting alot straighter
Title: Re: Blankbats signature model for 2013
Post by: Cover_Drive on August 02, 2012, 02:39:58 PM: I don't know if its me but this shape looks a lot like Screaming Cat Series 1, this came in my mind after comparing these pictures with CA Gold's SC.
