Hi guys.

First forum topic so go steady!
Just had two new bats off paul and was hoping that someone could upload some photos for me if I send them. Will post specs once they're up

Cheers.

2 new supremes.
2'12
Short handle
Put the purist in to compare.

I think paul has done a wonderful job.

The purist is on its way out. Inside edge crack keeps opening up. Had it refurbed one final time before moving on. Interested to see who makes a similar bat shape. (Never paying gm prices again)

It's a pretty easy shape to make if your not bothered about edge sizes

Nice copy of a Purist. This is the first time I am seeing a bat that looks better than the original.

To be fair I sent paul my specs

8-10 grains
Bit of heartwood not a problem
Big spine and flowing edges (not massive as I think it takes away the skill factor and the challenge)
2 grips

 I think the purist came from an age where dense heavy clefts were the norm because the new aldreds I have show more size and a lighter pick up.

Now just waiting for the sun to come out.
