Title: new SS Bat shapes
Post by: Buzz on February 07, 2014, 07:09:51 AM: following Chad's post with his new as bat, I thought I would have a sniff around the online stockist website. not something I have done for ages.

I have seen a few bats coming from the SS factory now with the "players profile", with what online stockist call the fuller profile. far be it for me to ask if these are similar shapes to the Spartan, Michael Clarke shape, but I am a huge fan of this shape...

two questions, firstly when will these be in the uk and secondly, what do you guys think?!

Post by: Chad on February 07, 2014, 07:18:39 AM: I don't think they will be in the UK thanks to the 'SS' sticker... :( Those do look lovely though, I really like the Platinum stickers and the profile. Maybe they will release a 'TON' sticker in that style, I'm sure they would sell!

Post by: wayward_hayward on February 07, 2014, 07:22:23 AM: I would love to try that profile but would be worried about breaking the toe.
Title: Re: new SS Bat shapes
Post by: Beaup123 on February 07, 2014, 07:31:12 AM: Well,

I personally love fuller profiles and is good to see them changing there shapes which they don't often do. These exact bats wont be coming to the UK because they are 'SS' branded instead of 'TON' hopefully they will have the same shapes with the Ton Branding.

Post by: Cedrictoad on February 07, 2014, 07:34:46 AM: Did they mention anything about weights for those bats?

Surely with that much wood they would all be in the heavier side of the ledger?
Title: Re: new SS Bat shapes
Post by: Jogetnz on February 07, 2014, 07:43:13 AM: Love the look of the full profiles! As long as the pickup is good and the weight is around 2.10-12 then I'm a big fan. I suspect that most of these player profile clefts need to be of lightish weight to keep up with the modern day call for big bats.

Post by: fasteddie on February 07, 2014, 08:19:16 AM: They look fantastic.
I've seen them on SQ Sports website, the new incarnation of 'Shaz's stockroom' (I think).

Very tempting indeed. The grade 2's look cracking value.

Post by: wasted_talent on February 07, 2014, 09:16:02 AM: wow, that fuller profile looks very good... :o

where would people say the "middle" is on these fuller profile bats?

pretty sure i have seen some on sale on ebay too?
Title: Re: new SS Bat shapes
Post by: GarrettJ on February 07, 2014, 09:23:53 AM: perfect for the faster track but not enough meat in the toe for my liking, look like they could get a hammering on some of the low wickets i play on.

We've had this shape in regularly over the last 2 years, but always plain with only the embossed TON stamping to the side. Its always been stocked in the top grade only, but we have a select few coming in, in the lower grades too with the full TON stickers and branding this time.

The new softs range will be available in March.

Post by: brokenbat on February 07, 2014, 01:51:51 PM: looks like mid-low middle, despite the toe being a bit less thick.

Yes, there is an interesting thread started by vitas about surridge starting legal proceedings against sareen and retailers last year.

Not a bad price at all for something which may be the Spartan equivalent of an MC 1000... ;)
Title: Re: new SS Bat shapes
Post by: Warneymonster on March 03, 2014, 12:54:57 PM: love the shape, its not very clear on the willow grading though.

hate the amount of branding on the bat though, i dont mind ton on the edges and toe but they have burnt i-bat onto the spine as well
