If you get chance go into a cricket shop pick a few up see what suits is my tip for a custom mate

thanks roco the ca looks right down my street :D what weight is that ? and has anyone got a legacy ? hows the pick up?
-
Mate seriously if your after a custom for,yourself you need to know what you like
It all horses for courses we all like different if you pick one from here it will possibly not be right for you
Have you got your own fav profile already

2lb14 1" long blade

no not really as i havent had the oppurtunity to play around with different profiles but out of the ones i have played with my fave profile would have to be my hawk, its got modern sized edges and a high spine with a relatively high middle, however i have found the middle to be to high, really only good on bouncy indoor tracks. and hard dry ones at the end of season.
-
This is a homemade one I did for myself. 29 mm edges (was 30 until I knocked it in) 50mm spine, slight bit of offsetting

I think Tushar has a Legacy.I would love to have a hit with one, our slow low Dorset pitches are crying out for a legacy!
-
as per what i like : high spine, no concaving, not to fussed about edge size though around the 30 mm mark is fine and as extended a middle as possible
ajmw89 : i remember the thread when you first made it , it looks great :D is it your current match bat ?

Pics of the hawk we've heard so much about?

My skipper has a Laver Legacy and the pick up is brilliant. Really surprising given the amount of wood at the bottom.

looks about right :) though i think i will talk to the bat maker as well and see what he thinks who knows what he has up his sleeves ;)
and i wonder how james does it even the special profile has to be picked up to be believed !

Aha - the FLC 'Herod' aka 'Slaughter of the Innocents' ;)

It's done some huge damage to a couple of changing room walls! If I was a better player it would probably hit a cricket ball quite nicely too! :D
It does look nice though eh?

Not as yet. Haven't had a net with it, although that will change tomorrow. Ping is better off the mallet than my current one though, so it may well be!

You could probably get that with the middle moved up. The sweetspot extends quite a bit on this one, but I reckon if you got it moved up about an inch and a half, it could be perfect for you. 8) It has small edges and is based on the Hosk's legendary SCat. :D

high to mid sweetspot, perfect graphic's look no further!
