Folks,
Here we are, with another exciting episode of "Guess The Batmaker"!!!
In today's episode, we present one of my specs being shaped. I am interested in your feedback on the shape and also your thoughts on who the bat maker might be.
Here are the rules:
1. Please no more than two names guessing the maker as we only have a small number of bat makers posting on our august forum.
2. You may not privately message any bat makers asking about the origins of this bat or picture.
3. Answer will be revealed in a few days when I receive the bat with the stickers on it.
Without further ado, let the games begin!!!!

Matt H4L or Aldred
Looks a nice shape.

Not got a clue, but looks very nice
Toe shot next?

Is that Hades shape? I have no idea. I like offset edges as I hit from the pitch of the ball as well as lot of late, short balls.

Max edge 7 inches from the toe and max spine 11 inches from the toe. It should ping nicely from the bottom as well as the high part of the blade. In reality, I don't know how it will perform.

Who is "Ryan"?
Ryan
-
He's the mystery bat-maker - he's very elusive.
If you don't know him now, then you never will. You don't get a bat from him - he approaches you and offers to make you one.

B3

LOL

You know the feeling you get when you pick up a bat and you just want to swing it. You want to swing it hard with all your might because it just feels right. That is the feeling I got when I picked this bat in my hands. It is massive!
I will post the pics soon.
-
Think it's a BB
-
Stop it you tease!
Just get the pictures up :D

Pressing: Soft. Light Mallet contact is leaving small dents on the face of the bat.
Finish: Best I have seen so far of all the bats I have posted on the forum.
Pick up: Like a 2-9/2-10 bat. I have a recent B3 acquisition that weighs 2-10.9 and feels like a 2-10 pick up. This is supposed to be heavier. I will confirm the weight in a few days.
Handle and grip: Very comfy. Handle is slightly wide than I had had spec'd but that could be due to added thickness of the ripple grip. I will re-measure the handle girth without the grip.
Response: mallet response is good. Mid-low pinging better than mid-high. Rebound will improve a lot after oiling and knocking. I am seeing a lot of small indentations from the mallet.
I wonder what is the density of the cleft. This is supposed to be a 2-13 bat but is picking nice and light.

Lovely looking bat, I like the offset profile. John is knocking out some really nice bats, the X* i got is beautiful. I'm expecting the T20 bat he had in his sale soon too. The only thing I don't like is the red and white but thats nothing to do with cricket ;)

Now that's as good as owt I've seen on here!

Good job your new one is black then lol

Where is my prize for getting it right?

Your prize is the feeling of satisfaction that one can only derive in the knowledge that your judgment and your eyes are absolutely impeccable when it comes to identifying cricket bats. :D
But if you must insist, I hope you enjoy this virtual toaster. :D

Hahaha @fattuscattus
I tell you you're having a bat and take the money out of your account without you having to do anything. Then two days later it arrives. [emoji14]

Lovely looking bat John, top work.
