Title: Custom made Vulcan - Hermes
Post by: 19reading87 on May 13, 2014, 07:43:15 PM

A few weeks back I gave my good friend Dean at Vulcan a call to see what he could do for me as I was in the market for another bat.

Over the last 18 months Dean has become a very good friend of mine - I let him know exactly what I wanted to which he replied "yep I'll get that for ya". Now we all know how fussy I can be but in this case I had no doubt in what Vulcan would produce for me. I asked for a "performer" over a "looker"

A little over 2 weeks later an absolute Beaut of a beast turned up. To say I'm pleased would be an understatement.

Specs

* 2.10 in weight
* Oval handle
* 8 1/2 - 9 grains
* Mid - Low middle
* 38mm edges
* 64mm Spine

And here are the all important Pics

The sweeping curves on the profile look perfect, very nice piece of willow.
