Title: New batmaker
Post by: maly on June 24, 2016, 02:52:15 PM
Hi All,

New batmaker from Florida, USA.  This is my second attempt.  Please let me know your feedback.

Best regards,

Not bad for a second attempt. Tell us your thoughts behind this profile.

Did you handled & pressed the bat yourself?

Good Luck , Maly.

Do let us know your thoughts behind the design. to my untrained eye, this seems like a bat with a mid to low middle that weights between 2.9 - 2.11 lbs.

Since most of the grounds in the US have matting wickets and most of the shots are played off the front foot, the low / mid  profile works the best.  This particular bat
is close to 2.14, but pick ups like 2.10.  Also, it is a great blade, one of the finest willow I have encountered.  Will soon post a video playing with a sock ball, the ping is
awesome, considering it is yet to be knocked in.  It is from a part made.

After some sanding magic : https://flic.kr/s/aHskySdyZL

Can this be considered as grade 1 ?.

Great effort mate for your 2nd bat!
interesting profile but the thought process is great,
Agree with a couple on the pick up, this place loves a crazy pick up index.
In regards to  being considered grade 1, i personally would say no as the grains, while relatively straight, the gaps between are uneven and there looks to be a few blemishes but personally i like the bit of timber!

Where did you get your part mades out of interest. I'm starting to shape as well

Regards Grade 1, I'd say it depends on the brand - different brands have different opinions of what makes a G1. I'd put it as a very nice G2.
