In what weigh Dave? and stripe 1, 2 or 3? looking forward to the end result...
-
Jasus, I thought you'd got it already for a moment then!!!!!!
-
Bit premature on the review aren't you Dave?
Is that normal for you fella? ;)
-
One thing I don't get is why call it 'stripe'?
-
Not premature at all i have ordered thought i would put the shape up and do a comparison remember this is a new concept
2lb 9oz due to a higher middle round handle
-
Well customer service has been good got a bit by bit progress and pictures which is always a nice touch and a final appraisal.
So here is the nearly finished article around 2lb 8-9oz higher middle with my laverish profile as asked for
it is 3 stripe willow
(For the people who do not understand the stripe system is a military type rank although i'am not sure this is why they have done it)

Got a few pictures from the workshop just awaiting permission to post..
So far looks good to me looking forward to seeing there decals
I think they have matched what i asked for very well so far
-
If that's stripe 3 then what is stripe 1 :o
-
3 stripe is the top bat mate i think it looks very nice indeed
-
Love the shape
-
Looks nice dave...handling them after machining them by the looks of it too
-
Looks good but very expensive at £320 for top of the range. Can't wait to see it finished!
-
offset edges?
-
They have a promotion on at the minute so it was not that dear at all but i was buying into it being that but they politely told me it is part of there promotion so happy days.
Thing is at no point have they said look at this or that just that it will perform well that all i want.
-
Impressed though, bet you can't wait :D
-
yes never had a mad machine custom bat or at least to my knowledge i have not.
Yes it is exiting trying something new and different
-
it looks like a lovely piece of willow, hope it goes as well as it looks
-
looks a nice shape Davey boy, is it pressed with a flat face roller, or dome pressed?
-
i think it is slightly dome looking at here i did not specify when ordered that

-
hey that looks like my new bat
-
i can not see the pictures can somebody get them up not a member of twitter
-
that bat on twitter looks great ... how mcuh are these things?
-
That bat on twitter is mine i think
same profile , i asked for that colour decal and grip
They have a promotion going on not sure if i can say yet they have kind of mentioned it on twitter i think
-
Yeah the bat in my link is Dave's bat but with the stickers on.
-
That bat on twitter is mine i think
same profile , i asked for that colour decal and grip
They have a promotion going on not sure if i can say yet they have kind of mentioned it on twitter i think
its mentioned on twitter there is a promo but it doesnt say how much they are .... strange promo!
-
oh and before anybody asks yes they press there own
-
The promo I was quoted was 15% off the stripe 3 and free knocking in and scuff sheet applied.
-
same as i bought but was originally going for a 2 stripe till they told me of a upgrade for only a extra 20 quid like i said so far so good i like the bats looks but will need to see how it plays with the 3 part testing method..
the bat on twitter may not be mine but looks similar to the shot
-
oh and before anybody asks yes they press there own
hahaha :D :D
[I should clarify that i find it funny as procricket has been here for so long he is preempting the questions]
-
Guessing it's done on the GM machines?
-
I'd be surprised! I'm off there on Sat so will get some more pics of the process.

Looks like they have invested a lot of money into machinery, going to have to sell some bats to get there money back, good luck to them
-
yes looks like they have spent a few pennys and a big good luck to them
-
Can rent a cnc easy enough
-
From memory it looks vastly different to the machines at GM, that was some time ago so perhaps my memory is crap lol.
-
Gms was a custom designed £500,000 model I doubt they could get that kind of finance straight up as can't get a cnc built to that kind of spec to rent
Plus gms is a twin bed that looks a basic one bed model
-
Looks like they have a "table top" CNC machine. Expensive no doubt, but not prohibitively so ...
-
Yer i remember the GM was a twin bed however from memory only one bed was working and had been like that for some time, remember walking into the machine though and looking at the process which was very very interesting.
-
About £50,000-£100,000 for one of them new but they prob got it 2nd hand as can pick them up 2nd hand from £5,000
Yeah gm had trouble with one of the heads but he was tweaking it for a new shape
