Title: My 1st Bat!
Post by: Perkins17 on September 14, 2009, 08:04:55 PM
I got the bat today off Tom and I was surprised about the weight at the start it was 2lb 15oz ish and then i got straight to work on it and the willow came off really easily with the drawknife i spent about 3 hours on it and i have finished the shaping but need to finish the sanding in the morning and the ping is awesome on it!

a very good attempt 1st up.

Quite a lowish middle but should do well on English wickets
