This is the new swell Storm prototype profile. Weights will be the same as the swell range so starting at 2.11 fully dressed.
This one is 2lb10oz as shown so you get an idea of how big these bad boys will be at heftier weights!!
Let me know what you all think, as always all feedback welcome. we aim to please and the customer is always right!!

Just doing my bit lad, You're the ones spending your hard earned! And don't forget... i don't make commission and i am not a sales rep lad, just a forum voice and aid for Big Rob. Love his gear and want others to experience what i did when i went down and bought gear :)

Argh! That looks lovely....time to try RPC I guess? :(

thats nothing to be upset about mate. get TS to send you his custom first if he can, that is a beast. This is still in proto so may be a few changes, if so i will be posting updates to the thread.

Just texted him regarding his new stick, would love to see it.
That profile is what I like too although it is an ounce or two heavier but that profile is spot on.
I'm sure I will be touching RPC base very very soon...

Only bants mate :) just joking!
It's top kit, that mini swell of yours is a canon
-
yeah TS uses a great weight for chunky bats. Well, just hit me up if you ever need anything mate, always happy to help. Think tushar has my number as well if i'm ever offline etc.

Thank you!

Well Hellooo!!!! :) this looks a tad higher middle Liam, is it mid middle? looks lovely...
CD didnt get a txt if you sent one today but will send mine over as soon as they get here...new ones are supposed to be knocked in so you could try netting with it too ;)
-
Really love that profile
-
Really like the shape of this bat, shame it's too heavy for me.
-
Great looking profile. Any chance this profile may be available in lighter weights like 2lb 9oz? I know the Swell range is meant to be big with 45mm+ edges. But I would love to see that profile with say 38mm+ edges at 2lb 9oz.
-

No mate, it had been knocked in by Rob and Si but the batoff was first time it had been used. Why?

Going to get down in late Jan to the Pack cave to have a look at one of these beauts, middle might be a touch high though for soggy yorkshire wickets lol- do you think the new softs will be in by then mate? (if not already) Looking for a full kit out.

Word on the pack vine is February for softs mate, final design choice etc needs to be sorted. You're only 5 mins from me aren't you? Can always go down and you Can get a price while there and if there's anything uou want not stocked you can have it sent up to me and I can sort it that day, or sent to you etc. Or.... When its all in we will go down anyway lol there's a block price for full kit deals mate and with you being pdcl I can sort it all out for you anyway. ;)
-
Cheers mate, options are appreciated, but in all fairness I will prob wait for the new stuff to come in then head down (although have no patience when it comes to new kit so have no idea how I will cope!) could have a joint venture down if you're planning a trip early feb? I dont mind driving or chipping in fuel money etc :). May have a couple of team mates interested too as Ive been singing RP's praises from the last stick I had from him.

Looks a really nice shape that mate.
One of the best around if you,ask me

Well as soon as the stuffs in mate ill let uou know and we can sort it. I'll probably have a few lads with me anyways, so you can follow us down with your boys and we will rock the cave to pieces lol loads of lads in our league talk about the bats but I never got round to tell them I do the rep work on here etc for rob sotheyll have to wait until next season but ill probably be making a few trips regardless.
-
Another quick update.... RP reports this profile can be done at lighter weights, obviously sacrificing a Massive edge but looking at 38mm as an example
-
Had trip to the cave on Saturday and my god I love the new profile for the swell so much i've got one being made up at the minute.
MP+1 weighing 3lb 4 when finished but the pick up was absolutely amazing, didn't feel like a bat weighing over 3lb.
massive edge. Cant wait to pick it up and ill post pics. :)
-
Nice one mate :) You will have to treat us all to a review and pics once it arrives.

The new beast. Used in the nets for the first time last night and my god it has a ping on it. For a bat weighing 3lb 4oz its pick up is so light.

Absolutely sodding ENORMOUS but if it didn't ping at 3'4 I'd return it ;)

I love it. This was just one of 4 bats that rob made up for me to choose from and all of them were massive.
