Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on May 17, 2013, 12:54:00 PM: They are actually all grade ones but a couple of those wont quite make our supreme range they will drop to gold sovereign range just purely on feel. Just get in touch there are some absolute guns in there and more besides.

Post by: DACD 1987 on May 17, 2013, 03:09:21 PM: Thanks Paul

Any chance you could find 2 Gold sovereign and 3 Silver sovereign blades in this fine selection? ;)

I've got my own and the cheques from 4 other team mates burning a hole in my pocket at the moment waiting to place an order under your support your club deal. :)

Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on May 18, 2013, 07:43:07 AM: Littlemaster the one on the far right is a beauty, supreme cleft 7-8 grains great ping and in its raw state as it sits is weighing in at only 3lb4oz. So plenty of scope for a big bat with that one obviously depending on what weight you are looking for

Post by: Bats_Entertainment on May 18, 2013, 09:32:50 AM: Do you receive the clefts already handled, Paul?
Title: Re: Clefts
Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on May 18, 2013, 12:29:35 PM: No all our bats are pressed by myself. We are striving to do everything ourselves. The next thing we will look at will be manufacturing our own handles but that is a while a way yet

Thanks for the reply, I was looking at a bat weighing in at around 2.6lbs (very light, I know!). What kind of edge sizes and spine heights can you achieve with this weight?
Title: Re: Clefts
Post by: Aldred Cricket Bats on May 28, 2013, 01:51:19 PM: Spine heights and edges are only achievable with what you have in the cleft to start with so with that one you are looking at 35-40 mm edges and 65-70 mm spie heights. It is an absolute gun too someone nearly had it yesterday but wanted a lot of grains and that's 8 grains.
