Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: Tom on July 31, 2008, 10:33:12 AM
Should go for a red or silvery grip, otherwise looks nice. Nice profile.

Post by: E-Unit on July 31, 2008, 12:17:45 PM
haha, pink grip looks poor! black, white or silver imo..

but love the bat, chris is making some brilliant bats, and the profiles hes been making have all been so different but yet so good!
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: e4sby on July 31, 2008, 12:24:41 PM
I did tell Leo about the grip but he wanted pink, the customer is always right!  Normally the bats do come with a white grip!
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: maXXed on July 31, 2008, 03:09:12 PM
I'm not sure what it is, either the wood or the finish, but it doesn't look as clean as that gorgeous one is Chris' profile picture
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: Howzat on July 31, 2008, 03:24:21 PM
Mine has been oiled? My camera had the flash on making it very shiny
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: e4sby on July 31, 2008, 04:06:50 PM
The only things i can think of is that the willow on my bat in the pic is 14grains G1+ and my  photography is a hell of alot better than Leos!
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: gramw on July 31, 2008, 05:04:42 PM

Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: stevie on July 31, 2008, 08:49:02 PM
Looks very nice Leo, have you tested it with a mallet or anything yet?
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: Arthur on July 31, 2008, 09:16:48 PM
Leo, the grip ruins it completely, it actually looks vile.

The willow on the other hand, looks nice, as does the profile.

The bat looks very nice mate. Love the grip!
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)

Of course you do nozza..

At The End Of The Day (It Gets Dark), The Grip Can Be Changed If Leo Wishes.
If I Were Him, I Would ;)

The Bat Itself Looks Immense.

On Another Note, What Bat looks Best With A Pink Grip? Colour Stickers etc?
A Specific Model?

Can you get a pic of the spine, showing how concaved it is? cheers
Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: Howzat on August 04, 2008, 09:01:24 AM

Title: Re: My new CE (part made)
Post by: E-Unit on August 04, 2008, 10:12:55 AM

Thanks PP, the bats have surpassed the standard i thought they would reach in the timescale i've been doing them.  Its not as hard as it looks ;o) shame i can't knock a bat out in half an hour like the 'pros'
