Title: New Ryan Custom bat on its way
Post by: rbblack on April 08, 2013, 11:33:17 AM
So I've recently been on a bat buying spree to replace some old and tired faces. (Including a RP LE custom - not ordered yet as no willow in stock, a Fatbats custom - will be here this week and this one from Ryan).

Ryan put up on twitter yesterday two pics of the finished product I asked him to make - I should get it this week and put up a full review next week. However I thought I'd share the pictures of her.

She has a LH with a 1/2 inch shortened blade.
Asked for 3lb in weight - I'll weigh her on arrival. Single grip with oval handle. Flat face.
Obviously not expecting the pick up to be the most refined but we will see!
Otherwise asked for a fairly standard modern profile to be used when I am in the nets as weight training and also for the middle if it's time for a slog!

What do you think?

Holy Moly - just taken delivery of this.
4cm edges with a 7cm spine, huuuge middle with smallest amount of concaving. I cannot believe it weighs 3lb based on the pickup feels like a 2'13.
I'll get some pictures up later today when I have time. But by gosh am I a happy lad!

Props to Ryan this really is a beautiful bat. Thank you.

Really cannot get over the pick up on this bat, just does not feel like a 3lb bat at all.

Stunning! Ryan you really are turning out top bats :-)

Looks like a flat face, or is it just the angle?

Nigh on flat - it's like the Salix half and half roller has been on it.

Simmy has always been very proud of his swell position!
