Title: End of Season Bat Sale (new photos)
Post by: Blenheim Cricket on September 06, 2012, 09:44:13 AM
Gents (and any ladies who peruse the forum from time to time!)

Got 5 great pieces of willow up for sale. All bats come with protective facing and require courier postage of £12. Will consider offers. From L-R:

1. 2012 Blenheim Churchill - the increasingly popular traditional shape, with thin edges but a vaste middle. This beaut weighs 2.8 and has 10 grains. £190

2. 2012 Blenheim Churchill Long Handle - this was custom made for a club mate of mine as a long handle, and is closer to our 2011 'Oxford' shape than the 2012 Churchill shape. It has a slight bow and carries good edges through the bat. Just under 2.11 the bat has 10 grains. £190

3. 2012 Blenheim Viceroy - The first of 2 bats made to a specific shape that we wanted to try out, this bat has been on the Forum for a little bit before now. It has an unbelievable grain structure, weighing just over 2.11, with huge edges. £210

4. 2012 Blenheim Viceroy - Like the previous bat, this has monster monster edges but not vaste concaving meaning that there is loads of wood spread through out the bat. 2.12. £200

5. 2012 Blenheim Viceroy - Made for myself, this is a replica of the Screaming Cat shape that Julian handmade for me a few years ago but is a tad heavy for me at just over 2.10. It has been in my bag for a few months so has a few marks on the back of the bat, but hasn't ever hit a ball. Down from £230 to £210, no offers on this one as I'll keep it for myself if not sold.

a few better pics and it might sell - would be good to see a full profile pic of all the bats

Do you mean an individual shot of each bat? Isn't photo 4 showing the full profile of each bat?

that probably came out more abrupt than i meant to!

what i meant was i'd like to see a full profile shot of the far right bat - you can't quite see the swell and i am intrigued about the special profile.

Where is the middle on bats 1 and 5?

The middle on bat 1 is vaste - runs right down the centre of the spin. Very traditional English profile - probably most like a Newbery Mjolnir or a Nixon. I'll put some more photos of Bat 5 up.

Bat 3 now sold.

Leaves Bat 2, 4 and 5 up for grabs. Bat 4 is huge, perhaps the pictures don't do it justice...
