Any chance of some better profile pics and a photo to show concaving?

Is this bat completely hand made or machine made and hand finished?

Lovely looking bat either way.

Completely hand made this one, not a stock Cnc shape.... It is based on a screaming cat series 1

So is this bat a one off shape? Are you able to get bats hand made by your bat maker to a customers specs?

As know Blankbats have their 4 stock shapes.

I think we should create a thread that list shipping costs to various counties as its must be one of the most commonly asked question on here.

Courier is usually about £35 to Aus/Nz for a bat

Roco please do as I must view this about 10 times a day to see if still available. I have had about 10 different conversations with myself justifying why I deserve this bat, but having spent £1200 on willow in the last 12 months I really don't need it but that does not stop me wanting it. :(

Post by: FattusCattus on December 21, 2012, 08:48:05 AM
Well I won't help by saying that I saw this last night and held it too, and it's an absolute 'sex-stick' - nice shape, nice weight, luuuuuurverly face, super balance! 

It really is one of those that looks even better in the flesh.

Sadly when I looked in my pockets, I was the small matter of £258.50 short of the asking price, so I believe it is still available.

Post by: Buzz on December 21, 2012, 08:52:08 AM
you did better than me, I looked in my pockets and I was £262.55 short (but I did buy the fish and chips lunch... mmm)

Canners, you need to get better at clearing up your sausage and chips wrappers, I don't want to have to clean up after you again, that is your mothers job, not your coach's!

Did he still insist on triggers buzz.

Stand still that man

Stand still that man
You know me Dave - I was encouraging a big back and across trigger to help him move as much as possible when the ball is being released, just so his alignment is wrong and his head is moving about.
I found it really helped him ;) !!!

in all reality Canners had a really good net yesterday, nice position and has a few things to work on, especially playing straighter through mid on, rather than trying to whip everything around the corner with his bottom hand

Buzz my apologies regarding the mess i left behind......

the best part was when buzz gave fattus some extensive technical coaching..... next ball all i heard was the stumps rattle :)

p.s. This bat is still available

the best part was when buzz gave fattus some extensive technical simple minor coaching..... next ball all i heard was the stumps rattle :) as I bowled a ferocious leg stump yorker with the bowling machine that would have tested even the Stig.

Gimme a break guys - it was 'move yer head here, back foot there, front foot over there, jiggle your testicles to the left' - it was a lot to take in, I couldn't cope with it all.

We were working on my patience and defensive technique and I kept getting caught at deep cover. Hmmmmmmmmmm!
