Sorry i have no Wagg to hand
We were going to keep this simple and offer the Butterfly grade in one shape (the DB1) and make these up (into bats) and then offer them on the Forum, but after discussing with ProCricket I think you guys wanted a bit more choice in the design. So I have had a think, and have come up with an idea of offering you more choice. Below is a few designs both Series and a few of our sponsored players that you can choose from;
([url]http://i61.tinypic.com/mk7p77.jpg[/url])
Now there are two things that dictate bat weights 1. Model/Shape and 2. Density of willow, so we can say the Model is fixed when you choose from one of the above. Now the desity varies as Willow is a natural product, and as ProCricket has already said in this thread Butterfly timber is in general more dense than other grades. If we assume the same Density (400) for the above designs the weights would be;
Ref. Model Weight * based on 400 Density
A. DB1 2lb 9oz
B. DB2 2lb 11oz
C. DB3 2lb 10.5oz
D. Bragg 2lb 10.5oz
E. Mull 2lb 12.25oz
F. Wagg 2lb 12oz
G. #1271 2lb 15oz
An increase in Density of 10 increases the weight by approximately 1oz, so for a Density of 410, a DB1 would weigh 2lb 10oz, or a Density of 390 a DB2 would weigh 2lb 10oz.
So if I post a picture of a few Butterfly clefts with the Densities written on them, you should be able to work out what each shape would weigh with particular clefts and densities. We can do all of this for the same price previously quoted and you can still customise your bat (handle length & shape, sticker colour etc).
Does that make sense?

Pictures of clefts with more to come in the next week or so..

I would love 398 in the Bragg profile if available can you let me know please
-
Simon that would be around 2-10.5 as the diagram shows as 400 density would be on the nose that weight.
If anybody is struggling to understand it just let me know.

Yes I know I take it mate if poss

Which profile is closest to the Michael Clarke profile? I have a similar profiled bat, so this would make a great net bat, or potentially replace my match bat.

401 sold cleft

Somebody asked me a side shot of the Mull05 profile here you go.

Nope - I can't get past the Will Bragg I'm afraid!!! That would be the profile for me, lovely!!!
Can you get the Will Bragg as a standard profile at the off-shelf prices?

Hell if the Derbyshire Boys keep scoring the way they are there shapes might come online a great 282 run partnership today for the B3 boys including Scott Elstone hitting 212 Not out.

Dave,
What is the likely hood of getting a butterfly in the brag of mull profile in a 2lb 8oz? Is that a highly unlikely occurrence?
-
When one of the clefts above is a finished bat can you post a picture up of what they look like ... hard to see the willow on the picture especially with all the swizzles and swirls and different colours
-
Not great Matt for it to be a Mull you would need a 360 dencity and for a Bragg a 380 to 375.
We need a talk to the doctor about arranging a ask the doctor question time

If it's not too much trouble, can you please post the close up of 414.Would like to see what I got.
Thanks.

Kal,
Streaky just sent these to me but I will be going through tomorrow and will get you that snap if that is fine with you mate.
-
401 AND 414 and 398 SOLD
-
Are there more clefts to be made available as mentioned previously? Although I notice 394 isn't mentioned as sold?
-
Procricket are the weights stated (based on a 400 cleft) for a finished bat i.e gripped and stickered up or for the bat naked?
-
Finished sorry mate I missed this hope this helps mate
Nope 394 is not sold but there are more in in the next day or so!!!
-
All bats ordered have been made and shipped bar the extra knocking in on one I'm told
Dave
-
Ah cheers bud, may be interested in 394 but will wait and see what the next batch are like.
-
Good stuff thanks for your interest mate sure do be something for everybody coming up at a great price too
-
All bats including the one which required knocking him have been shipped and all the initial clefts have been sold.
The new batch of 40 will be coming soon i can confirm Butterfly bats are being used at professional level.
-
Am keeping my eye open Dave to see if a lightweight cleft comes up (350-380 density range)
