squared toe, big edges and by the looks of it a "fin" type extreme concaved swell - very little spine height to speak of.

Lovely looking bat!!

Root was looking a bit 'McElroyish' infront of the camera there.

Really like the look of that! How different is it to a "normal" Octane as might have to get one?

He was destickering a gray nics in the dressing room today - he was sat next to Finn, who was padded up as night watchman.

It looks similar to asian bats. Champ bats comes to mind.

Was literally just about the back of the bat you could see, at first I thought it was a Spartan because of the outline of the sticker looked like an arrow.
Perhaps cook is just having a bat with one of the newer range of stickers on.
