There's 10 clefts there, on the logic less than 1% make crown grade, your room of ordinary (non crown) clefts must be a bat whores wet dream!!  :o

Best of the best the others are quality too.  The 344 could make a right big bat and light too.

Come and see the willow supply on our birthday with a special offer on bespoke on the day.

Procricket, super light ..... Is that the lightest ever.

Do crown need to have a certain number or grains or it's just weight and blemish free?

It is not the lightest ever

All round crown they will have to be light and look good. Some look better than others but they tend to all look good or if your lucky we get the odd ugly light ones their the ones i like really..

The DW1 bat I got the other month was a 1 stripe 'crown' think it was a 356ish still not the ugliest thing you've seen and performs better than anything I've used. Bloody thing is huge aswell!

I'm hoping to pick up another when I'm down there for the bday bash

What's the lightest ever and who got it?
Title: Re: New Crown williow in including a 344 ultra light density

1% of total clefts produced or 1% of total received by your lot mate
Title: Re: New Crown williow in including a 344 ultra light density
Post by: procricket on September 30, 2014, 08:41:39 PM
1 per cent of what we receive and because at a complete guess of all uk based cleft users I guess where in the top 5 we see a few not as many as we would like though.

So am I right in thinking a 1271 off this cleft would be 2lb 9.5?

My 1271 is a crown and is a touch under 2.11 which was about as streaky said it could get unless you start cutting would out. If this is true this must be a seriously light cleft

How many grains does the 344 have? Looks like 7 straight even grains init..

You are correct the original 1271 which is infact mine because Trott wanted 3 others was 2-9 and a half

At 344 it doesn't get much lighter at all

Can anyone give a review on the Aaron finch bats and profile that b3 made?
Title: Re: New Crown williow in including a 344 ultra light density
Post by: e4sby on October 05, 2014, 07:17:44 AM
Mine is a slightly supersized Aaron Finch profile due to the weight request - think mine was made with a 356 cleft

Not the best looking crown but certainly some of the lightest.

And this is one of the customers

Title: Re: New Crown williow in including a 344 ultra light density
Post by: procricket on October 05, 2014, 04:36:18 PM
£400 crown mate and real decent price for top low density willow and made to measure.
