Title: Closest shape/profile to this...
Post by: t2ylo on March 11, 2018, 04:02:46 PM: So my favourite bat is on the cusp of death, there’s a crack horizontally under the front sticker
It’s a totally brilliant bat but I’ve never really known what it was.
Bought as a refurb from M&H and I could see ‘Spartan’ outline on edge when I subsequently repaired it, but that could just mean the previous owner had restickered it.
It’s had a repair from @jamesisapayne to the edge and a new handle - it’s a bit like Triggers broom
Weight is 2lb 9oz
I’ve attached as many photos as I can and was hoping that someone could steer me towards a current bat profile that would be a similar shape. It must be a fairly standard Indian shape but I’m not an expert like some others on here.
I did like the Newbery B1 that was posted a week or so ago but £200 seemed a bit pricey.

Any suggestions on a sensible budget welcome - thanks

Both are made by TK and I'm sure with them being sponsors on the forum (Uzi and BlankBats) you'd be able to get one in your budget.

Post by: t2ylo on March 11, 2018, 05:19:48 PM: I have thought about getting it copied but it only cost me £75 and it seems crazy to spend loads recreating it - was hoping someone would spot it as a generic shape and I’d pick up another cheapish

Thanks for all suggestions so far...

Post by: Dooey__ on March 11, 2018, 05:48:52 PM: I'd argue that the likes of John at RedInk / Adam at Neon / Tai at BB and the guys at Chase could all do something for you around the 200 mark which would be a belter! I'm sure even cheaper if you need :)

Post by: Neon Cricket on March 11, 2018, 06:01:51 PM: A Grade 4 from me would be £148.74 (+ P&P) inc CBF discount - I've recently had a bat copied for another CBF member so this isn't an issue at all if you're interested :)
