Title: First day of Spring
Post by: mad_abt_cricket on March 01, 2013, 05:23:01 PM
Had a really nice sunny weather for a change after weeks of dull rainy climate and my wife took this opportunity to take some pictures of the bat I have shaped for a club mate.

1. Weight : 2.12.3
2. Edge max: 36 mm
3. Spine max: 55 mm

No concaving and pretty happy with the overall finish. As usual would love to hear feedback!

Looks amazing mate, stunning workmanship and an interesting shape.

Would you grade that as a 2 by the way? Do you tend to grade on looks or performance?

Nice bat Sudeep, although the pics are missing something. Could we please have a pic or 2 of the entire profile of blade in one shot? pic next your dog is the closest to entire bat....i do like your new stickers a lot too..does it have a fairly flat back near the handle/splice like L&W's?

Thanks Tushar, it doesn't have a flat back like Laver, some more photos hopefully give better view of the whole profile.. hope this helps

You'll have to produce something better than that to impress the Lab  8)

Looks a beaut, well done, very interesting shape

Fantastic effort, lovely profile and great pictures. Keep up the good work! How does it feel off the mallet?

Thats better :)...not sure if its intentional but looks like the edge sticker on RH bat's outside edge is upside down (not the extreme one but the purple with ST on it)

Thanks Mate, Midnight is hard to please, she has set pretty high standards for herself!

Yes Tushar, it is a mistake from my side.. only got exposed when I was looking at the pictures..!

A lovely finish.
Not sure about a square toe.

I love the name 'Divine Touch'. Great branding.

Thanks mate, my club mate selected this cleft based on the lovely response.

Thanks Mate, I personally have started to like more square toe.

Lovely stuff! I really like the shape and the finish, and the pictures really do a great job on showing off the willow, so thank the wife for that! 8) I am not a huge fan of the square toe though... I don't know, makes the bat look a little too rigid, kind of like flat faces, but flat faces are growing on me, so maybe square toes will too! :)

Yet another beauty fella. Not too keen on the square toe though. Finishing looks as good as ever

Thanks Mate, Perhaps next time I could try a more rounded shape for the toe..
