Since the summer is coming to an end and the season will be off soon, I am wondering if our bat whittlers can figure out as to what's the lightest weight that can be achieved on these specs?
1 - Very high sweet spot with duck bill toe. Spine at about 55 mm
2- Edge size about 40 mm,
3- Toe edge about 30 mm, toe mid about 32 mm
4 - Shoulders edge about 25 mm
5 - Full face width of 108 mm. Reasonable amount of concaving but nothing crazy.
6 - Round Handle
7 - Hard pressed and fully knocked in.
8 - No toe guard and single grip to keep the weight as low as possible.

Weight depends on cleft selection. If you find something very light then it could be a low starting weight. Probably easier mentioning the weight you are looking for as it may be achieved with a few minor tweaks

To be honest with you, not more than 2 lbs 8oz
What tweaks were you thinking?
-
That's going to be a big bat for 2.8 and will probably need a pretty light cleft to get near that, especially eith the shoulder edge and toe dimensions.
What's the reason you want the toe and shoulder dimensions like that?

I need this toe for stability and perhaps sometimes to deal with miss-hits.
And thick shoulders is purely for aesthetic looks. I am not a fan and paper thin shoulders. Perhaps we can reduce the shoulder size a little, if it helps achieving the desired weight?
-
I think you are going to need to make a few more sacrifices to get to that weight. A few mms off all dimensions would probably help.
What grade are you looking for and what's your budget?
-
Lol and for my trick 😉
-
To be honest to get a bat made to these specifications you are better off speaking to a Pakistani firm and buy one of their overdried slightly narrow beasts.
The moisture content in UK bats makes this difficult.
I would not expect an over dried cleft made like this to last more than about 500 runs...
-
Sounds like one of those would last me years....... :(

Great, that would last me until I retire from playing! :(

GM Mogul has kind of pressing and dimensions you are looking for. Max edge is 38 mm but I don't think 2 mm makes a big difference in a bat of that spec.

Need accept little tweaks to make it work.

Yeah, I am open to some suggestions. Let me know what can be done to make this happen?
I am not worried about willow grade at all. It can be grade 4 with dead knots and criss crossed grains, as long as it achieves the goal, and keeps a lid on the price as its my experimental prototype.

I think your measurements are a little iffy;

Yeah that just looks wrong!
Shows the power of b3 though, see your idea before it's made. And avoid a wasted cleft.

Wants 10mm off the shoulder and toe and a few mm on the spine

@The Doctor out of interest, what weight would this be from a 400 density cleft?

Looks very cool to me. That's what I want.
The only thing I would like to add is deep bow in the profile as in Indian bats. That will be awesome!

400 Density = 2'9 ;-)

Now that looks like a nice shape!!

This is quite close to the Mongoose CoR3 profile, although it's 1" shorter on the blade and perhaps a slightly lower middle
Not the most pretty of profiles

That baby isn't bad either.
Loved the bulldog nose type of a toe. But aren't mongoose a little narrow in face width?
What's the weight in this beauty?
-
This one was sold a while back, but I do have another alternative (same shape) which I can take photos of this evening for B3/other batmaker so they can copy it for you. From memory these come out about 2lb 9oz, in the inch shorter (full width) blade and were made in India.

Sorry man! That tweaked shape doesn't cut it for me. It becomes more like a regular shape bat and loses its uniqueness. I would like to stick with the original shape.
What's the lightest weight we can achieve?

What's the weight on this shape? Lets get something going with this beast.

We can do the above shape but can't get your big indian bow previously requested - we can do a normal pressed bow, which I would describe as moderate.
