I was asked by a friend to make him a bat based around a Sachin style. From researching his bats he's used and kind of having an idea of the profile he used and the requests my friend wanted I got to work. Obviously I'm not saying this is his exact specs etc and how he had them, but as pretty darn close as to it I could get.
Specs
Weight 2.13.3
Edges 47mm
Spine 60mm
Minimal concaving
Rounded pressed face with no bow.
It's a monster of a bat, but the pick up on her is light considering the weight. To me she doesn't pick up bottom heavy. The ping is just incredible. I wouldn't want to be fielding when he comes in let's put it that way.
I like to know your thoughts as all ways as I look to improve on my making.

Thanks northern monkey. It's taken me ages to find a balance between design that is classic, vintage yet has a modern approach.

Put a black grip on it

Nice mate. Keep it up.

Great work Rob, I think the stickers are real improvement. Bat looks a monster, bet it flies.
I got smashed around by a couple of your bats last weekend playing against Mattishall, sounded and performed very well.

You should be making a lot more bats mate. I have tried many bats in last 2 years and keep going back to yours as my main bat. Like others don't get too carried away with stickers decals etc..your current branding is very good. Keep the focus on bat making and all the best.

Love the look agree a black grip would look more classy.
-
Quality looking bat as always.
-
Very nice indeed :)

47mm edges, thats a monster. Everything about that bat is classy well finished, attractive and imposing.

The ping on this one is incredibly good. Hardly have to hit it.
Thanks mate. Yea the Mattishall boys have been good help with testing bats out. Gordon's bat is an absolute gun. Made specially to the way he plays.

Thanks palmist. Glad she is still doing me proud and scoring you lots of runs. etarting to make more but getting the time to fit it all in is the problem. Keep me update with how you get on with her though.

Thanks. It's been months in the making getting the finish perfect. Tried different ways of sanding and tools.

Maybe Marshall Guitars or some music/audio brand, well that's what it reminds me of.

Looks stunning, the profile and the stickers. I am amazed how it picks up lighter especially without any concaving and or bow :o. The middle too seems mid-low.Keep it up buddy :).

Cheers guys. I can see where you are coming from specially with the Marshall app type. Wish I had a Marshall though. It's just a standard font as far as I believe. Wanted something close to my own handwriting.
