I can not believe bat 3 has not been sold, £115 for a grade 1 bat is more than a bargain, it's a gift. I so wish I had got it back last year, only if I had the money today. >:(

John I really wish that was the case, bit strapped for cash at the moment, but if you still have it when the cash starts rolling in, your be the first to know, and that demo bat will me making its way to Oxford.

No worries mate. Let me know if your interested at any point

I can confirm bat 2 is an absolute beaut. Taps up really well on the mallet which is most important
but also looks fantastic and has an excellent pick up. I'm amazed and happy I picked this one up first.

The bats are taking up much needed space in my workshop so i will now offer free postage in the UK (saving of £10)
i will also honour £10 off international postage so you guys abroad can still benefit from a saving.
lets get these sold

Bat 3 sold pending payment

With the greatest of respect to John, I don't think his skills with a camera do justice to his skills as a bat maker. I've seen them and they are superb. Snap 'em up fellas!

Too good a deal to be missed really and having bought number 2 already you will not regret it especially at these prices!! Too bad I pretty much have my quota of bats for this season.
-
NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

jesus lad get the the gym u must be like a weed lol
thats what i was thinking. i would say 2lb 8-10 is about normal. anything 2lb13 plus i would say is getting on the heavy side. everyones different though! sure these are all pretty light for u simmy

indeed but at 2.8 this would be light enough for 99.9% of people unless ur 12 years old lol
even if u use 2.6-2.7 2.8 is hardly heavy lol

What bats do you have left?

What bats do you have left?
Bats 1 4 and 5 are left. Let me know if your interested in any of them. Alternatively I can always make you something
-
I use a 2 pound 6 oz at the moment, how much is the price for bat number 4?
-
Ha I have the 2'8/2'9 red inker and it is comfortably the lightest bat I have ever owned. My new tactic from now on is to have at least one normal/heavy bat and one much lighter bat to use when situations/form dictate.
-

£160 inc uk postage. International postage is extra

Definately not.

Does bat 1 happen to be knocked in by any chance?
-

it doesnt but as you have enjoyed knocking the last one in then thats not a problem is it? :D
-
Haha I still haven't finished though, and definitely don't have time to knock in 2 bats at the moment!
-
Wish one of these was knocked in :(
-
They can be but will take a little while
-
Hi John,
Pm'd you regarding bat number 4
Thanks
-
Bat 4 sold pending payment. Come on guys only 2 left.
-
Sorry to bring up an old topic but i thought it was probably easier than start a new one.
both bat 1 and bat 5 are still available. they have been sat in my workshop since so will have a resand and repolish and a nice new grip. i will update the topic with new pics once they are done but the condition hasnt changed, i just want to bring them up to the current finishing standard. i imagine with the change in grip the weight will probably drop a little.
open to offers on both. lets get these two sold! a complete waste not being used.
-
Really surprised No.1 hasn't sold, must be just down to the weight.
I'll try emailing a couple of team mates, see if they're interested.

Thanks mate. Yeah suprised both are still around. Both pick up well for their weight. Both have pretty thick grips on. Once they are resanded and regripped I'd guess they are gonna be slightly lighter

No replies yet.
Leaving off the scuff sheet will save a few grams, most guys I play with go "commando".

Neither of them are heavy anyway. Ill reconfirm weights this weekend

Hi, bit of a long shot but is bat 1 still available? Would be interested in it after the festive period if it is still around?
