Title: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Buzz on April 06, 2016, 09:03:39 PM: Here is a picture of the new blank bats gloves, that are really rather lovely... If you like very light and flexible gloves with pittards palms and minimal branding.

Post by: JB on April 06, 2016, 09:08:36 PM: Those are very nice, what's the sizing like Buzz? Last pair of BB gloves I had were pretty big
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Buzz on April 06, 2016, 09:15:08 PM: They look bigger than they are. I would say bigger than my sg gloves, and smaller than the GM LE gloves I have.

Lighter and more flexible than both.

And another good bit, they cost less than £40 posted.

Post by: Cover_Drive on April 07, 2016, 04:26:56 AM: They look fabulous! What pattern is it on palms?

Is that 'pro' bat from BlankBats as well? :O

Post by: Buzz on April 07, 2016, 08:22:55 AM: Here is another picture of the gloves, so you can see the palms

Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: JB on April 07, 2016, 09:34:51 AM: I like the little tab on the gloves for taking them off! That's a good little detail, for less than £40 they are excellent value as well!

But that Bat!! What shape is it Buzz?
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Ams4287 on April 07, 2016, 09:36:22 AM: Nice that @Buzz which profile is it? I'd love another bb stick

I also have a couple of pairs of the new gloves from Tai, very nice and comfortable - I always wear fingerless inners and they are a good fit!

A black one :O

Post by: brokenbat on April 07, 2016, 11:34:27 AM: @Buzz I hope THEY are paying YOU for using their equipment in your kitchen coaching videos ;)
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Buzz on April 07, 2016, 12:49:44 PM: The sharpie isn't mine! It was on the handle when I took the grip off.
No sponsorship for me, even if my kitchen coaching vids have a cult following!!

This has a very similar shape to the rpc bat posted today:

Here is a profile shot
(http://i895.photobucket.com/albums/ac151/buzzrockport/IMAG0777_zps9ruqequ7.jpg) (http://s895.photobucket.com/user/buzzrockport/media/IMAG0777_zps9ruqequ7.jpg.html)

So some specs...
Weight around 2lbs 11 fully dressed
Edges around 33 mm
Pretty full profile
Low middle

The pick up is unlike any other similar weight bat I have had, the balance is pretty special.
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Mattsky on April 07, 2016, 06:18:46 PM: The middle doesn't look particularly low to me from those shots. Still. Lovely stick. Are you planning on wielding it in anger Buzz?
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Buzz on April 07, 2016, 09:35:03 PM: Mattsky, there is no point in just staring at it!
I just hope I will be able get it knocked in in time. Having said that, my other blank bat is magnificent and I still need to use that too!

Post by: Blank Bats on April 07, 2016, 09:48:56 PM: Buzz

Do you collect empty boxes?
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on April 07, 2016, 09:56:53 PM: I'm sorry @Buzz, but the GM logo on the grip wasn't perfectly central in line with the face of the blade, so you've gone down in my estimation ;)

Hi, I like know if the bat still available for sale , I want to buy one bat and gloves , if it is light weight, thx let me know
Title: Re: Blank bats... What isn't there to like
Post by: Buzz on April 20, 2016, 03:17:40 PM: Hi @Chauhan1947 this bat was bought from @Blank Bats for me to abuse. Reasonable to say I won't be parted from this bat anytime soon.

I suggest you speak to the blank bats team (message then on here) I know they have some tremendous blades in stock if you want something like this.

Post by: Churchy1989 on May 09, 2016, 05:36:03 PM: Heard a lot about their net bats, can't see them on the site, have they stopped or are they email only to purchase?

Pretty pleased with it to be honest...
