Title: ST - Sword
Post by: mad_abt_cricket on August 13, 2012, 07:05:36 PM

Tried a uniform distribution of wood, for a bat with a pretty low sweet spot, to achieve the longest middle possible.
 
Weight - 2.9 dressed

Pretty happy with the pickup and the balance of the bat. Bat gives equal opportunity to drive as well as play horizontal bat shots.

Feedback Appreciated !

Looks pretty good. How is the middle? Did you manage to achieve the long middle?

Going through the knocking in process, the middle seems pretty long, it starts just above the toe till just below the face sticker.

Looks nice but not quite to my personal liking (nothing against the bat itself  ;)). Out of curiosity , where do you get your scuff sheets?

What have you used on the toe?

It is pretty similar to shoe goo, used here locally for skates.

Thanks Tushar

Yesterday presented it to the mate and he loved it. I also tried it myself in the nets and the ball literally flies off the blade. I was bit apprehensive as it is the lone slim one among lot of fat muscular bats here :)
