Just received the second Custom, so I thought I'd share some pics!
First one (white grip) is the one I got today. Weighs in at 3lb in Matt Coles' profile, bit of concaving with 47mm edges & 72mm spine. Mid but very long middle, pick up is excellent. Spine runs into the toe, thick shoulders and toe. The second bat has no concaving at all, weighs 2.15 with a mid low middle. Edges 45mm with a 62mm spine, plenty of wood up the blade so this also picks up well. Bat 1 has 11 grains, bat 2 has 10. Grains straight through the toe on both and straight up the back. The finish is superb. Both respond really well, bat 2 has had a couple of hours knocking in so is slightly better.

I'm sure Matt would make you one!

Very nice indeed
-
Stunning bats, really lovely profiles and bloody huge. Can't see how people can bat with bats at that weight but when you hit it it must go miles, add in H4L performance and oh lord you must clear some boundaries
-
Wow..some serious willow there. Matt just posted a pic on h4l twitter account and those clefts have ruler straight grains .
Time to hit some Gayle storm sixes ;)

They are both stunning mate really like the Matt Coles profile very similar to the one I had made can't wait to receive my second custom as Matt is making some serious bats this year hope you score a shed load of runs with them true works of art

Lovely looking bats.
Far too heavy for this lightweight though :)

Good god !!!!

They will be spot on Matt makes some very big bats

For the weight, I think they are OK to be such scary looking monsters.
For me? If I can't score tons upon tons of runs with these bats then I will either look to play some other sports or go for lighter bats.
These will be my good collector's item for lovely stickers.
