Title: Another new bat
Post by: ajmw89 on January 12, 2013, 05:16:03 PM

As ever thanks to Matt at H4L for a stunning cleft. 2lb9 Long handle, goes like a rocket. Minimal concaving and picks up a dream. Oh, and 30mm edges and 50mm spine. Get extra pics from my camera tomorrow.

Very nice mate, maybe you could take off a little more weight from the splice area, but I guess you could get more reward for the odd ball that bounces lots! 8) I see that you have done the edges like a Hades btw, good choice! :)

Cheers. It's meant to be 2lb 9, so it's fine. Balance is beautiful, so i think I'm justified in leaving more up top tbh.

Cheers guys. Just started the knocking in process and I really don't want to give this to the guy that I made it for. It's such a nice bat

bat looks good. maybe u can experiment in future by taking more off the top and leaving more wood in the hitting area.
