Title: My CA SM-18
Post by: InternalTraining on September 28, 2014, 09:55:40 PM

Got this bat through a friend and Shoaib Malik signed it. It is one of his bats and calling it a gun would be an understatement! This has a duck-bill shape but it has no impact on the performance. I have flicked quicks inch and a half from the toe and the ball landed a foot inside the boundary...amazing bat.

It weighs 2-11.0 with a single grip. 41 mm edges, 66/68 mm spine, and pings to the top of the scuff sheet.

One of the edges cracked and I took pics when glue was drying.

Looks like a beast. How much did this run you if you don't mind me asking ?

Terrific bat. Really liking it.

Could you possibly share a picture of handle (from top showing springs)?

Profile seems exactly like EaglesCC's;
