Thank you ! Pickup is really nice as the swell dips and the toe shape helps.

Thank you mate. I think the toe on his present bat is pretty squarish, that's what I could gather from online photos.

The toe is not diamond shape on Clarke's bat but standard . ST Clarke shape has more of a diamond shaped toe .

Very similar to SS with a bit higher middle and less concaving . Like the SS pro bat Coverdrive bought .
Title: Re: ST - Clarke's bat profile
Post by: procricket on February 23, 2013, 09:05:49 PM: Seen this shape recently on another sareen.

Some special shaped sareen kicking around.

Mad your bat looks very nice not so keen on the toe but the bat looks very nice
