Title: 2nd DIY :D
Post by: generalcustard on February 18, 2010, 08:17:01 AM

Hello,
This is my second bat, this one started from a full sized cleft without handling, put the handle in and let rip and Wallah, a bat was born. I think this was my fault, but the bat seemed to be a bit stringy, concaving the toe worked fine, but at the point where it starts ripping, i turned around and worked in the other direction only for it to continue ripping. Any advice for my next cleft would be appreciated. Pics now.

This bat was made to order,a high middle and a wieght of 2'9 was asked for. Atm its 2'9 1/4, but picks up great and the blokes happy with how it is.
