It was my birthday just after Christmas and my widfe knowing I love cricket decided to act apon a picture I saved on my computer.
I really liked Chris Lynn bat shape and the Halestorm and was tempted to buy the Australia but was not wiling to pay the 100 pound custom charges.
So my wife booked it in and asked if I wanted anything specific I always wanted/something different to what she got me for Christmas.
So she got me this
2/12
48/49mm
76mm spine
And yes it has added power I fancied something different
Used it i a net yesterday straight out of the packet goes well great pick up and feel for me high middle helps it

Nice work, Dan must be delighted to have you back nearby...
Not sure you will be able to use that in a match though!

Watch this space...
Ridiculous performance
Brilliant craftsmanship not in vogue with the forum but makes a great bat
-
it will fight with a genuine match used pro GN for a spot in the bag

may do a thread of my bats
oh spec on this
40mm edge
70mm spine
2/8 and a half...
with the b3 and Sareen got some grea tchoice this summer and some big decisions to make...
-
That's a beauty Dave, looks to be very full profile too!
-
Looks great love a higher middle
-
How much shorter is this than a normal length blade? I like it.
-
4mm shorter the chase
-
4mm shorter the chase
A beauty mate. Comparison with the other Chase you got?
-
I'd got myself a very similar shaped bat, just ever so slightly smaller dimensions by the looks of those pictures. Originally was Romgear (Kippax made) 3,2 monster, it was huge but too heavy for me, so had some weight taken of by Jedi, left plenty of size in the middle of bat, no took plenty from shoulder and toe, and it came back look similar to this one. Looks lovely does that Dave, hell of a collection you have
-

Other one picks up better but I expected that because it is a smaller blade BUT NOT MUCH IN IT.
Truth is I don't really do collections I tend to move on what is not used.
Like to haave 3/4 on the go...

this is in my bag too I think

That GN looks Titchy
-
My tonto is up stairs in Prep mode and have a couple of others including a 46mm super edged B3..
Just let my BAS and a Raina shaped special go and got my super SS bat still to show.
Got more than enough I like to spread the love around using great batmakers
-
That GN looks Titchy
You would be right it was broken and had a SSH I got it fixed and GN refurbished it...
Really Delete repeated word good bat hard to beat it.
The issue is I have been very spoilt in my time by the likes of B3,Chase,SS now GN it hard to buy bats as good anywhere...
90 per cent of all bats are equal some are special I have a few special ones...
@DorsetDan its a tough one...

-

-

No still got tonto ,finch and a few others mate...
Tonto is still my favourite shape...
@Sivlar13 I will whats left if I still can make it and my job doesn't get in the bloody way..
-
Any other sneaky GN's hiding anywhere? :)
All insane bats. Some are nearly as thick as they are wide!
No I couldn't afford a halestorm !!!!
However never say never but I think I'm done..
May trade a bat or two maybe for some small mens GN pads and Gloves...
-
Bats I would like to try are a
SA made Bellingham and maybe a H4L bat in the future...
Just about only ones I have not tried so far...
-
Some stunning bats there Dave, are you still having that special light bat from chase being made?

I'm sure with the amount of H4l bats that are going to be at the Eversley net someone will let you have a hit with one

Coo @procricket -- Dave, like that B52 style one, that's a proper shape that. What's the weight and what sort of nick is it in?
-
I really reall do like the chase!
-
I had a bat with this in the nets today, and I can say that I was totally amazed. I normally bat with a 2.7, so my first thoughts were I was not even going to be able to pick it up of the ground. How wrong could I be, the bat was really well balanced, the pick up was shocking, just so good. In fact it was better than the 2.8 I was using at the time. I am really tempted to buy one!!!
-
You used this one @jblowe

You brought some superb bats today Dave!
Everyone obviously had their own faves but that B3 felt excellent to me.

That's an insane weight! SS by far my favorite company. They've really upped their game in the last few years, a lot of quality bats coming from them and consistently.
But of course your guaranteed quality if your ordering direct from Jatin, Is that the Kohli profile?. Great collection mate!

It was 2,10 not so long ago though wasn't it 😉.....
-
No mate never been 2/10 at all I thought it was 2/8.
Not sure where you got that from Tom.
I know it was ordered 2/8 but never the weight you said...
Apparently it was 2/7.1 yesterday but I took the ceat stickers as stated.

Are you blind ????
That not the same bat I have had two look at the grains.
-
ask @FattusCattus what he did with that one he bought it..
Maybe if you think you know something check it first pal.
Maybe sometimes you should just ask !!!!!

No not really just replying it is not the same bat.
From the same place and same man and I suspect same batch..

2 SS either size of my old final b3
-
How come all these SS's come without the stamps? Are they a bit loose on that now or just special order?
-
A friend got them for me direct there from the special stash there not like your normal SS/Ton bats..
Also the other lad who got one off here got his blank too..
They cost though too much for a bat I think...
-
used this bat on Saturday and its a keeper really good craftsmanship and I took a ounce out of it myself and felt really good.
Does the laminate increase performance I'm not sure it went well with not some much preparation and packs a punch.
its in the bag....
