Title: My new rk custom
Post by: simonmay5 on July 06, 2016, 03:10:20 PM
Ok so not put many bats on hear lately as been so busy but think this deserves to be shown of I spoke to Ryan about making me a new bat and asked him to make me a bas dolphin provile in under 2.10 the bat is really good copy and the Ping is great Ryan has been a real pleasure to deal with all the way though so hope you like the pictures the bats specks are 38mm edge and 56 MM. spine

Love those stickers, especially for a boutique brand. They look very high quality, nicely embossed. Very Kook Ghost.

If you don't mind me asking what was the damage for this beautiful piece of willow @simonmay5
Title: Re: My new rk custom
Post by: tom line on July 07, 2016, 03:18:48 PM
Not sure whether the prices in the bat makers shed are up to date or not but if they are your looking at sub £200 which I think Simon told me when he first showed me the cleft although I'll let him confirm the exact price

Had the pleasure of weilding around a new RK and a refurbed h4l done by Ryan and ive heard nothing but good words from everyone in the club, my skipper is over the moon with both! Really knocking out some seriously good bats
Title: Re: My new rk custom
Post by: Calzehbhoy on July 07, 2016, 03:30:24 PM
That is a serious piece of willow if it was sub 200!
Title: Re: My new rk custom
Post by: Jlscarroll17 on July 07, 2016, 04:54:58 PM
If that's sub 200 then wow, I've heard nothing but amazing reviews about Ryan's bats but there's not many about up in Newcastle, but I am very interested because they look amazing, does anyone know if he makes laminates as well ?

@simonmay5 - Pure bat porn :D. Beautiful piece of willow and very nice profile shape. Guess the pick up is very good as well.

@Ryan - Fantastic job. Finishing of the bat looks outstanding. Stickers are super cool !

@simonmay5 I take it that's a grade 1 custom shape ? Finishing is top notch and the minimalistic stickers are quality i love what Ryan has done with the branding I will certainly be getting myself a couple for the back end of this season and next
