Some may or may not have noticed I advertised for bats in 2.14 in the wanted section as changed my preferred weight, and as usually went over the top. And bought a few.
B3 butterfly in "DW" profile.
Red ink using h4l oversized cleft
H4l devil monster tempo
Maverick colossus
Nemesis
Non are g1 all lower grade models, after using a b3 butterfly all year I've lost interest in g1, there is performance available cheaper.

Cheers to vitas, Uzi, red ink, h4l and b3 for sorting me out,
Laver and wood ont he way, when they pull there finger out!

Been waiting for this!
The DW is bigger than I had in mind! Favourite 2 are obviously the H4L and Red Ink, are they all 2.14 and do they all pick up the way you like them? I know you prefer bats which feel their weight, but that preference may have changed when you decided to change weights!
Please tell me the Laver coming is going to be a Mega profile, and that you ordered a 2.12, as that will shoot up to 2.14! ;)
-
Three more and you've got a decent rugby pack there! ;) ;)
-
That red ink looks huge
-
Lovely looking sticksjg

Chad.
The b3 and maverick are spot on. H4l and red ink a tad heavier. And the nemesis a tad lighter.
He b3 maverick have an awesome pick up. Nemesis is neutral. And the 3 feel very similar when swinging.
The red ink and h4l feel there weight so pick up heavier than the other 3.
The b3 "dw" is a decent size bat. And to get a 2.14 I had to choose a heavy cleft. This means if you get the right cleft a dw in 2.9/10 will be the same size!
The red ink is my favourite and has a chance of being 2015 mat h bat.
The red ink is indeed huge!! How i specd it
-
Nice collection wish i could bat with that weight.
-
Very nice collection, and that maverick looks grade 1 on the iPhone
-
lovely looking bats i would happily use any of them
-
lovely bats mate. it's not easy to pick a bat from these I would assume.

Can't wait to see my DW in the flesh, light cleft and only seen a couple of photos of it (on b3 love thread) looks huge!
Spoke to Dave and he rates the shape and response - said it was up there with his legendary 1271 Trott bat
Cracking collection of bats by the way mate, all a touch too heavy for a weakling like myself!

Calling 'Dibs' on that B3 beast if you can't get on with it!

Haha Dave has already done that and offered a swop for his original DW
-
The H4L looks nice for a devil grade, I had one that looked nowhere near as good!!

He's being greedy - and he should have taken the chance on that cleft when he had it LOL :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Truth is I got the Inital set and sample of a international player we make for as it was lying down on a table and said make that up.
With my new kalimaar dw2 about to be born more than happy with my lot bats wise.
Great collection Chris mate lovely lookin profiled bats the lot of them fella.

I used to play with a heavier bat (what seems like an eternity now) so can just imagine the big shots coming from these sticks.
That Red Ink looks awesome! Kudos to the maker! Please post some more pics of it

I had two arrive to choose from, sent one back, the other one actually had a better looking face, but this one felt better! Great bats for the cash.

Also, my laver arrived today, pics later, it weighs a tad more, but not as much as others. I asked for 2.14 it weighs 2.14 8. Maybe it has finished swelling or it's due to my heavier weight demands, but it's tolerable for me. Picks up well too.
Pics later.

That laver (that doesn't currently exist! ;) )will probably end up about 3lb mate!
