lovely bat mate! Not sure about the batmaker though... he was seriously very arrogant while replying to enquiries. I believe they are selling it only to overseas customer and not to local customers. Pride gone into his head maybe. Enough of my rambling.... Let us know how it plays mate!
-
That is superb! Lovely shape, where is the ding?
-
On toe
Jake at vitas told me to steam it out so I tried and it worked
-
Lovely cleft. You may need a new handle though as the springs are wonky too 😠

Handle is fine just a tad thin

The profile of that looks really nice, I quite like the branding of RNS as well
I've seen 'steaming' mentioned a few times, how does it work/what is it?

Spit on a dink. Wait a minute or two. Then apply steam to the area - the dink should end up "rising" and will be a lot less noticeable. Only do this to the back of the bat.

I wrapped in cling film and masking taped it down to stop steam damaging face then applied Lord Sheraton after a little sand
Job done looks spot on

Beautiful grain and lovely shape. Not my sort of handle mind but have been considering an RNS or SS stick for a while, how much did it set you back if you don't kind me asking?

Thanks mate, useful little trick that

Thats a stunner and huge for the weight!! Is that VK profile? What are your thoughts on their customer service?
-
How much did this cost out of interest?

No problems ordered and paid Thursday 2000
Delivered today 1000
2nd bat from them not had a problem
-
Lovely looking bat that mate, hope it serves you well.
I've only seen a couple of Larsons in the flesh, but they were both pingers.
It looks as if they've toned the stickers down a bit compared to the ones I've seen. You can even see some willow on the back of this one which is an improvement on the ones I've seen

I ordered an rns a few years ago. Was pressed really hard.
-
Looks very clean and full, my teammate uses RNS..ping is really good and balance
-
Lovely bat. great value.
