Title: My new blank bats
Post by: tommo256 on November 23, 2015, 04:42:03 PM: Afternoon chaps,

So I messaged Blank Bats about looking at a new bat, and took a couple of weeks but they found me something and its lovely.
I was looking for a heavier bat, and this is 2-13 all dressed up, its a tendulkar profile with a nice low middle, its got 10 even grains with a minor blemish near the toe.
The performance based on knocking a ball up in the office earlier is superb, gonna spend a bit of time knocking it in before getting on the bowling machine with it.
Pick up is good for a heavier bat as well
Overall very pleased with this purchase!

Might look strange under the clear bit after some oil

Either that or I'm really bad at spotting things

Always been a massive fan of Blank Bats but what's up with that sticker?? Always thought it just covered the spliced section. Agree as well that the colour scheme is amazing on that bat.

I agree on your comment.

@tommo256 - Looks really good and intimidating. Good luck and hope you really scare some bowlers.

Same can't be said for how I'll test it out @vitascricket on Saturday
