lovely piece of wood, looks like the handle could of done with a bit more rasping to me ? Apart from that looks good mate! HUGE Toe! what is the moisture content of the willow like? that is a big bit of wood for 2"8 at this time of year!

Thanks Mate, the cleft has not been dried or processed in any way. Just among one of the lighter clefts I have.

Bat on the shape front looks phenominal, as for willow I would guess grade 2?

Title: Re: How you rate this bat?
Post by: mad_abt_cricket on April 03, 2013, 11:43:53 AM

I would grade it above than standard grade 1 as hard to find such light clefts. The cleft gives a lovely sound from the mallet as well.

Ridiculous profile.  Were I to see that on any given Saturday I would christen it, the railway sleeper.  Top job.
