Title: Bairstow's Bat
Post by: key on October 17, 2016, 04:18:48 PM: Having seen Jonny Bairstow's bat and the success he has with it ( obviously not just because of the bat ),
I was wondering if anyone knows what profile he uses. Is it a standard Gray Nicolls or a custom design?

Also, would B3 be able to replicate this shape, despite me having no pictures of it (less the ones found on google).

Thanks

I've found a few pictures of the bat! How would you describe it?

Thanks! I've updated the best with a few pictures and if you could describe in any more detail with the pictures that would be great!

No edge stamp either....

Thanks very much will definitely take a look. I actually found this video which has plenty of close-ups on the profile!

Yes this is most likely the case, I know Joe Root uses this bat length configuration.

Okay, the shape he used in the second ODI.

He's right you know, fiberglass tape well positioned to hold on used stickers too.

The really sad thing is, I saw during the game that there was glue gunk and gold leaf up near the shoulders where the SS sticker had been pulled off but not white spirited away... :(
