Reduced spine at around 55mm gone for coverage . It has split decisions at HQ Streaky not sure i love it...
-
interesting idea and worth using I think. I wonder if smaller edges and a higher spine/convex bit and it may work better.
is it a go-er?

Yes
Yep tried something of the sort with Kalimarr smaller edges bigger spine ratio..
The GN Scoop goe me thinking mass issues..
-
So basically Dave , you've designed a plank?

You think so.
Oh no i have designed a bat that is quid even the whole way through from edge to middle.
It is no plank and GN Scoop intrigues me because i have used them and some have gone very well with not much thickness at all.
I know some including Streaky are all scientific yet i'm a user and i think mass over this that and the over is overrated.
For club cricketers coverage of performance will always be better than a small one because where not good enough to hit it more often than not where we like.
So i have designed this something a bit different which is from a few bats and sawn together and will see.
People at Dotball on Friday can have a look at this and all mine and Streaky the designer designs...
-
And also what i'm trying to do is get the maximum volume of wood into a bat in the right areas as i know not everybody wants or can afford a crown so what i try and do is see what can be done also at higher density so people can have most of the wood in the hitting area yet have something that pick up ok the Kalimaar was great at that but still a ounce or two over what i wanted it to be at normal 400 density
-
If I understand correctly you want to keep material in the hitting areas but want to keep weight down. Why don't you reduce the thickness of the edges? I'm not sure I have ever understood why people want thick edges and this May help you to keep material in the spine.
Maybe I'm just an old duffer but there are plenty of stories of cricketers hitting massive sixes with bats barely an inch and a half thick.

Good point please look at the kalimarr this did this happy about this just trying something else based on a couple of other bats out there.
I wanted a equal out the bat yet unlike another convex bat it picks up better this due to the gentle wood out around the toe.
It a idea no more to see if it possible.
The kalimarr is designed for weight out of the edge and into the spine and meat.
-
I like it David, it looks like it has lots of 'junk in the trunk' - I'd pay for that profile.
Might be worth doing a profile shot from a little distance away once it's finished.

It will be a goer i'm down Leafy soon maybe catch up got a few new toys for you to use new stuff that package come yet???

If it works for tour and BB hulk this will work too....not everyone can middle all the time...a as much as I like the high spine, big edges with small spine and 0 concaving is an ideal bat for a clubbie. ..
-
Middle to low for you Dave ;-)
-
Middle to low for you Dave ;-)
Now now Chum this one is higher than normal i can't win with thee..
-
Certainly my kind of stick, wood everywhere where an average clubbie like me plays. If I could hit in the middle more often I would have been facing Mitch now and trying to duck a few deliveries.
-
Dave, what does the toe measure?
How much would the finished weight be if the toe was 35mm ish?
The profile is very similar to how my old laver was, after I took a lot of weight out of it
-
I like the idea about maximising coverage. Video not working for me, can others play it?
-
I have been following Dave's B3 designs and feel as soon as he comes across a low density cleft he comes up with a plan (supposedly new design) to grab it :D
-
If I read the measurements right it's a 15mm toe and an 18mm shoulder. 15mm seems a smallish toe to me. Would be tempted to reduce the shoulder to 15mm and put some of the wood back into the spine and extend the middle towards the handle. I do think bats pickup better with the wood around the spine straight down the line of the hands from the handle. I would be concerned about the bat twisting on impact.
What's fascinating is the ability to tweak the concaving in certain areas. Traditionally most bats have the same level of concaving all over. I have a bat similar to Dave's where the top and bottom are more concaved than the middle. It maintains the edge profile but ensures the middle of the bat get's the most wood.

What supposedly about it mate ??
You seen a bat like this before I haven't varients of course but like tush mentioned I have taken a few designes and made them different adding things here and there. Low density we have plenty mate so no I just like tinkering

The 1271 taught me closer to the hands the better so shoulder is best for the pick up for me. As for toe I prefer it as it is but hopefully will get better shots when finished

Embossed Stickers also

Wow. I need some embossed stickers!!
-
These are samples the real ones when they come out are so good...
Impressed with this bat the pick up is like a dream so happy with this design think this is my number 1 shape now the one i will use..
-
Is that your kids hand in the pic holding the bat Dave? ;)

no it mine and i have osm hands

Dave, very nice to see the finished product. What is the edge and spine size?

Dave I agree that was a wrong word, was just kidding as when you see a low density cleft you draw a new design, nothing serious mate. As mentioned in my earlier reply I love this design.

I know buddy had a net this is getting knocked in got my new nuber 1 here and possibly my only 1
-
What happened to your DW butterfly? Do you feel like giving it to me :D
-
Dave, very nice to see the finished product. What is the edge and spine size?
Its on the blueprints 39.5 cm edge 56 cm spine. It says it should be 2.8, but im unsure if that's dressed.
-
It is the finished weight with grip and stickers
2-8
-
Any chance of getting one of these? Very envious indeed! I like the idea of fulfilling what many have been yearning for, a bat that covers the spectrum of performance by giving isolated power across the entirety of the blade rather than the standardised modern or retro style. Then adding the embossed stickers gives it that little bit extra. Top notch Dave! :)
-
The model number is saved on our Bat register of course anybody can have one or any other design people want.
-
Dave - are you aware if there are any low density butterfly clefts around at the moment?
-
Loving those embossed stickers.
-
The finished ones are much better s shown on the video

Not currently might be one will have a butchers

Very nice shape Dave - tad too much bow for me - I like less than minimal, but I know others differ. ;)

There is hardly any bow mate it is a mirage mate and a forward set handle

Dave, what is the id number for this profile please?
-
Hi Bruce it is 3134 mate
-
I am love that profile! Convex is best. Hope it's available if those butterflies come back. Embossed stickers look very classy.m
-
It will be this is my favourite shape although iam biased it pick up is second to none.
Will see what i can do pal when they come back..
