Just thought id update the forum with the new profile we are releasing for this season. it was a close run thing between a higher middled bat and this one but i felt this was the best addition to the range.Unfortunately the stickers have been delayed for another 7-10 days but i thought id let you have a look anyway. a few pictures are on twitter atm @red_inker as i cant upload them on here. if anyone wants to post them in here then feel free.
Specs-
Standard SH
2lb 6.6 oz in current state
35mm edges
60mm spine
No concaving anywhere

Here u go

Nice. What weight is this one?
Any reason the spine doesn't go right through to the toe?
-

Nice bat. To hogh a middle for me though
So... It doesn't look particularly like any brand or it looks a lot like a lot of brands and could be generic.....!
Personally, I like it!

weighs in around 2.7 atm but thats pre grip and stickers. will be 2.9 once finished. ill update the OP with the specs a little later.
Ive got the Pyro with the spine through the toe so did something different. No concaving at all on this one and the flattened toe to ensure a top pick up with wood exactly where you want it. Middle is mid i would say. it is pretty elongated tho. big, long middle and taps up an absolute dream too!

First things that came into my head when i saw it. I we not allowed to share our thoughts on a forum??
-
Guess everyone is just sharing their thoughts. No need to get defensive... Personally I like what I see. Good work John!

Looks really good. I actually don't mind the look of the flattened toe with it either. Nice work.
-
I like this profile. The weight on twitter was mentioned as 2-7.
-
Looks great, a small bat company can't do too much with their shapes or they will alienate themselves
-
I like that! Doesn't appear to have too much of a bow which always appeals to me.
-
I really like the profile on this bat ! pretty similar to the bat I currently use which was a bit of a silly buy considering my home wicket is slow and low !!
-
The swell starts at around 12cm from the toe and is elongated quite a way up the bat. It's not a low middle but certainly not high. Specs added to OP
-
nice profile. and the middle is not high.
-
I love the shape. I would buy multiples of that and is the sort of bat I'd make if only I had RedInk's skills. Sort of neo-traditional with the absence on concaving, long spine, and normal-ish edges. Do you have a name for it?

It does have a name but will be kept quiet until the stickers have arrived.
-
lovely looking stick that !

Shame there's no chance of a competition for the name....
-
Not this time no but I may consider that or other comps in the future
-
Lovely.. lovely and lovely! Just what I'm looking for....
Can I have it please? How much??? ;)

This one isn't available but happily make one for you. Prices as per the x grade forum prices. This would be a x* @ £195 with free postage ATM
-
Lovely middle and personally I would like some more wood at the toe. Well, I guess I am not that talented to middle everything ;)

The advantages of making bats to order is that I can make these kind of tweaks to suit what you want. The toe area is still pretty chunky but could always leave more In there

My next new bat will be definitely from one of the sponsor's here and needless to say,it will be according to my own specs. I have been advising all my teammates to get a bat made for them rather than trying to "find one". But none of them know or heard about the likes of H4L, Red Ink, Aldred. I attribute that to us being in the US with origins in the sub-continent.
-
this seems to be a popular shape as its caused quite alot of interest already. still plenty of time to get one made in time for the season.
-
New stickers have arrived including the new Sirius model.Pictures on our twitter account as I'm still having issues with photobucket. If anyone can add them to the topic that would be great.
-
Look great
-
Thanks. More minimal look but still taking inspiration from the previous stickers.

Thanks mate
-
No bother
-
Love that Sirus mate, looks like a lovely profile and a cracking cleft to make that. I guess that's your new bat:)
-
It is. But there should be plenty more like that in the next batch of willow due in a week or so.
-
You have outdone yourself there!

Where is everyone getting these special colour ripple grips from?
First Shamrock, now you!

Wow. Outstanding.
-
I was going to post something like "you can't be Sirius!" but thought better of it........
-
Reall nice bat :)
-
thanks for the feedback guys, seems to be proving a popular profile already. good to see the stickers seem to be going down well too.
grips arent custom unfortunately. i had asked to have some made to my designs but instead just had to have them in these colour designs. lovely grips tho. decent thickness and excellent quality - nice clean lines between the colours, no runs like on some grips.
-
Love the name and the gear looks excellent :D
Ideal kit for me being a proper red inker
