Title: Next seasons match bat - Chase Finback
Post by: jblowe on August 05, 2012, 08:19:33 AM
Manage to get a
 top grade Chase Finback made for me, thanks to a certain member of our forum who introduced me to Dan.  Its a 2.8 with a great pick up.

Very nice stick. Seen a couple of nice Chase bats on here now

Should have kept it

This looks a hybrid shape

Hope mine will be as good

Looks stunning.

As nice as it looks I don't think I could bring myself to pay £250 for one, as I think there are bats for under £200 that are just as good.

Having said that, that's just because I don't have the money to spare.

Anybody wants one come and ask I may be able to get a good discount

Quality bat mate

Nice looking stick - strange shaped toe though?
Title: Re: Next seasons match bat - Chase Finback
Post by: Blank Bats on August 05, 2012, 10:05:19 PM
very nice bat, i believe the toe is tapered like that to avoid feathering when tapping the bat down

everytime i look at this thread and the bat, which is lovely, by-the-way, Aston Martin comes to mind...there is something abt this bat that makes me think Aston Martin :)

That does look like a top grade bat. So you not play with it till next season ? will be hard to resist  ;)

Full marks for that man! I think the owner is a bit of a heavy 'tapper' at the crease and if I remember rightly Dan said he changed the toe shape to help protect it...it really is a gorgeous bat. I've always preferred the Volante shape myself but seeing this Finback made me want to try one....

Pedals - we will have to butter Jason up to bring it along to Winter nets at Dummer!!
Then we'll help him play it in!  ;)
Title: Re: Next seasons match bat - Chase Finback
Post by: PedalsMcgrew on August 06, 2012, 09:49:19 AM
Good thinking! 3 people using it = bat played in 3 times faster  ;) It's a service really isn't it? I mean, we'd be doing HIM a favour  :D :D

In fact, we can start our own low cost service - Pedals and Hosk's playing in service!
Have your bats played in for £20! (Only quality bats need apply!)  ;)

Come to Oz in about 4 weeks and I will have something extremely special for you to play in

Would be great to come to Oz, especially as the weather over here is so patchy at the mo!
But would need to charge you airfare on top of the £20 fella  ;)

Seriously though,"Something extremely special"? Do tell!!!  ;)

Patience Pete I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I know I'm excited about it.. Something very different and truly a custom made bat

Pedals/Pete the bats far to light for either of you, its about half the weight of any of the bats your bring along.  But your most welcome to have a go.

Looks like a top stick mate - almost a perfect "Playmate" :).

I would struggle to keep my hands-off it till next season, but guess you have more self-control than the average forum-ite on CBF :)

Love the profile, but no bow in the blade :(  A decent bow in the blade and Heff would have featured this as his next "Playmate" :)
