I saw the new profile that red ink had released and I liked what I saw so I decided to look at the clefts that was available and found a stunning cleft that had two knots high up the blade buy the playing area was as clean as it gets I tapped a ball up and the response is very good indeed and the pickup is superb feels like its only 2.6 so can't wait to see how she plays massive thank you to red ink for making the bat for me and answering all my questions top service as always keep up the good work mate :)

It will be interesting to see how well it plays the pickup is superb first impression are very good
-
Wow, it looks great! The profile is amazing, nothing too crazy edge size wise, just a bat with a good playing area. The new stickers are also nice! Will be interesting to see how it compares to the rest of the collection, I'm sure it will be a keeper! How much does it weigh?
-
That bat look gorgeous. Can't believe the pick up is around 2.6. What's the actual weight of the bat?

It's just over 2.8 and it picks up like 2.6 i am really pleased with how it came out the cleft would not off been everyone's cup off tea but I could see that the knot was to high to make a difference in the way it plays so now I just need to knock it in and see how well it plays I sure it will be a very nice bat :)
-
Nice bit of kit there
-
That is a top workmanship and lovely profile.
-
Nice. The forums latest favourite profile - no concaving... :D
-
I like the fuller profile with out to much concaving and red ink have came up with this and I think its a lovely profile that a lot off people will like its good to see the smaller brands making top bats and I sure the profile will catch on
-
Are the new models all going to be named after Harry Potter characters, I quite fancy striding to the crease with a Hagrid X1 :)
Looks a cracker, and the new stickers are lovely.
-

Looks a outstanding cricket bat and very well made.

Looks a lovely profile and classy bat!
Very impressed!!

Glad it arrived ok mate, and thanks for the feedback. No worries on the questions. Good to know a buyer is interested in what they are going to get and wants to enjoy the full experience.
No link to the Harry potter series, just some stars that's all. It's certainly Proving a popular profile at the moment, got a few more of these on order ATM. I've got a new stash of willow of mixed grades so if your looking to get your hands on a Sirius it's definitely a good time to do it.

Very pleased with the bat and its a superb bit off willow I think the profile is a real thing off beauty :)
-
That looks lovely. How would you compare this with your Uzi sports special bat.
-
That is a beauty of a bat.And hope it's a beast,performance wise.
-
Lovely job, that. And well picked. Those knots shouldn't affect a shot at all. What style of batsman has the Sirius been designed for?
-
It's not really been designed for a particular style player. I wanted to make a bat that had all the wood in the right areas and still picked up well. I guess it's a hybrid between traditional and a slightly more modern design. Edges aren't massive but by no means traditional and no concaving leaves wood where you want it. Best of both worlds I'd say. Should suit a touch player as well as someone wanting to hit big
-
Can't argue with sticking the wood where it's supposed to be! As long as a bat picks up as well as Ryan Giggs picks up other players' Wags, and pings like a ping-pong bat, I don't really mind what shape it is. Be interested to hear your thoughts on the Sirius come mid-season, mind.

With the number of top bats Simon has these days, it may take him a little longer to get some use from it! :(

May I ask what grades/prices are available for the Sirius? Beautiful looking bat from what I can see from the pictures. Would you happen to have a profile shot of one by any chance?
Cheers,
Ian
