Afternoon chaps,
On this lovely winter morning I had to go and see my good friend mr Du Plooy, as usual it was very difficult to leave empty handed and subsequently I didn't leave empty handed. One hand had a cricket bat in it, the other had some biltong.
I ended up purchasing one of the T20 special bats Gary currently has, it's a shortened blade, squared off toe, big profile.
It weighs 2-14 if I remember correctly, has 45mm edges and around 67mm spine. It's a big bat, picks up like a feather and performs superbly with a bit of ball bouncing and some LV mallet tapping!
Anyway for pictures

Gorgeous looking back and fantastic stickers.
Still rue the day I sold my Supreme- it won't be long before I get another one
-
Great shape of both bats. What is the weight on the other SH B&S bat in the pic.
-
Look at that beauty! I would never use this bat myself. I would just keep it for display. You must have paid fortune for it.
-
Lovely looking bat that I think they are very well priced I think around 260 mark I might be wrong though
-
Bang on @simonmay5 . Superb customer service as well comes with Gary, and like you say very well priced for what is on offer
-
Wasted on you ;) nice looking bat
-
That's a stunning bat Tommo, no way an you use something that nice to play the heaves you play lol. On a serious note that some of the nicest, cleanest willow seen on here for a while and at great price points

I have a stunning B&S in the ranks but yea maybe lol
-
Yet another bat used for just slogging over cow 😂😂
Quality stick that mate, the grains and profile are unreal!
-
Serious bat envy @tommo256, love the profile and stickers.
-
Lovely bats Tommo really like the fire blade profile but the white / silver embossed stickers look great! Do you have a supreme as well for a profile comparison? Any sign of the 2017 softs?
-
@tommo256, stunning piece of willow that! Huge profile and pure grains is a fantastic purchase. Stickers look clean as well. Slap that up on the Best Grains thread!
-
Lovely bats, must get myself a B&S some day
-
Both are stunning pieces of willow.
-
Looks a fantastic bat. Love the profile, grains and stickers. Very nice indeed!
-
Used this bat earlier in the week, unbelievable! Thought I might struggle slightly with knowing the weight but it just picks up remarkably! And has performance for days, considering it was its first hit it's only going to open up into something more and more special! Could be the best bat I've ever owned!
