Title: A rather big bat
Post by: Blank Bats on February 19, 2013, 10:34:06 AM
This is an absolute monster of a bat. I haven’t seen many bats this size for the weight.

The spec are as follows

2.9 with a toe guard but without a grip
7 grains
Laminated
Malik Profile
Bowed Blade
45mm edges

There is a shoulder crack on the back of this bat, which we will fully guarantee and repair free of charge.
I don’t think the crack will progress. If this doesn’t sell I’ll keep it for myself. A genuinely imposing bat.

£205 posted to mainland UK.

It's hardly going to crack through the glue and onto the same spot on the second piece of wood is it?

BB

Is this made by your usual bat maker? and I presume the guarantee is 12 months?

The bat looks great and I know the crack has been glued but it still has a crack in it. I don't think I'd spend £205 for it..... Looks nice though!

How thick is the top surface ? Does a laminate have shorter life than a regular well pressed single blade bat  ?
Do you guys see a major difference in ping/performance with laminates as compared to a regular bats ?

I haven't used one ..just trying to understand the diference

i see your point but this isnt your usual run of the mill type bat. bear in mind that given the size /weight , a 12 month warranty, 3 day money back guarantee if its not right for you and the fact there is glue there already, should be sufficient.

The top surface is a thin veneer. From the edge it's a 3/4 mm thick.
I'm not aware of them having a shorter lifespan than a normal bat.
Yes I think so. Perhaps those who have used one could post their experiences.

Middles of the two lams I have are both crackers. Id say performance wise they are up there with the best normal bats I have used. Maybe better...who knows. Its hard for me to give a full opinion as I've only ever used them both in net sessions so fair to say neither of them have opened up properly yet coz they havent gotten enough use.

I do know that they go very very well straight away though, so could only get better with age. No problems with cracking or anything on them, but my laver match bat which is half a season old does have two cracks in the shoulder already - and its not a lam obviously.
