Hello, rather than me showing you pictures of my new bat I though I'd do an unboxing video of it and upload it to the Forum YouTube
The video should go live here and is currently processing.
It is a Custom and is based on the shape of my Talisman!

love the idea of CBF youtube bat reviews! :D thanks Liam
-
It has about 40 minutes left, I'm off working until half 5 now.
Did it on my iPad which was just standing up with the smart cover, so my head is not in the video. I'm sorry to let you down! ;P
-
Anyone else feel like providing something similar....?
-
Its Live!
-
That's a cracking profile!
-
Looks a cracker mate!
-
Was anybody else excited when he was opening the bat???
-
Very nice video and I was really excited to see what comes out of the box... The bat is really nice , the profile looks even bigger that the original.. Excellent job
-
WOW congrats mate :)
This 2nd one looks beauty
-
Great stuff Liam, is the weight copied also? Does look a bigger bat, great job from Red Ink.
-
looks very nice liam mate
-
Liam lovely looking bats mate both of them getting very impressed bya red ink
-
Going to do another video, I'll cover all weights and sizes in that one!
-
Thats brilliant Liam! Great work!
-
Glad you like the bat Liam and thanks for the different style review. Think it could definately catch on
It came out at 2lb8.1 on my scales which included grip and toe guard.
-
That is a hellish light bat for the size!
Lovely looking bat mate! I remember when you refurbished a bat for me a while back the finish was exceptional

Thanks mate. Really enjoyed making this one. Luckily u had a slightly lighter cleft in stock which enabled me to make it bigger

That is incredibly light for such size... I would guess you finished it around 2.5 before binding!
If you won't mind can you tell the edge max size and also the weight of the part made when you started making it...
Love your work..

How come it came with DIY stickers?

Looks lovely by the way!

Liam wanted to have the branding on it but wasn't a fan of the stickers in their current format. He told me what he wanted to do so I gave him a set to play around with. Turned out ok I think.

New video inbound! I'm starting to get addicted to all this movie making! I out my iPhone 5 on a mount and use the front facing camera so it all in glorious HD! Although the grains in HD is better than my face in HD!
-
Ok, iPhone doesn't do more than 480p on the front camera but the next video is up!

Mate that redesign of those stickers looks sick!
-
I like the back stickers you did..
-
Blimey liam, how old are you?
-
Great videos Liam! The new bat look a beauty.
-
Blimey liam, how old are you?
19
-
Only a couple of years older than me!
-
Did you think I was younger?
-
A gorgeous bat and brilliant work Liam!
Stickers look lovely and the profile is simply stunning! Lovely!
-
Did you think I was younger?
Nah, i thought you were like 30 :-[
-
Ooooh lovely Red ink stickers. Very elegant.
-
Loving the way you've put the red ink stickers on the back. Miles better in my eyes (sorry johners)
Very good review on both of them, top work Liam.
P.s. nice to put a face to the name.
-
One take man, impressive!
I really like that you just said what needed to be said and didn't wander off on any tangents. That's a tricky skill, so I raise my glass.
It's good to have something a bit different on the forum from for/sale... threads, again props to the innovation. I must say that the Talisman sounds like a proper bat, mate - like it has really opened up. The Red Ink too - total grain envy mate, and though it's not the best camera, looks a lovely well-finished bat.
Top work all round - you've really set the bar.
-
Thanks, but, one take? No chance!
The Talisman has opened up completely, and literally with a compression crack! It was annoying with the camera, it was the front facing camera which is HD and looked brilliant on the phone itself
-
Liam, whats up with Canadian flag in background? :D
Canadian eh? 8)
-
Helicopter scuff sheet or hammer edge?? Got a few months to knock it in now 2 :)
-
red ink on the back spine looks amazing!
-
Just wanted to say that RI did a fantastic job on the copy! Looks a great copy but even larger!
Great result! 8)

Nice Canadian Flag in the background :)

Brilliant videos, Liam, thanks for sharing - and what a stunning bat too! :)
If you ever find yourself needing a new job, give me a shout, as you should probably replace me as the IJC YouTube bat reviewer! ;)

thanks paul,
Liam has certainly done a good job on the reviews. im expecting a forum trend now!

Nice review Liam, couldn't quite see the grains in the first video
That talisman had very nice ping
-
Just an update, I have just started to play this in. The bottom 2 inches feel like a plank but the middle is sweet as a nut! The balance of the bat is superb
