Is this a low density cleft? The cleft looks beautiful!

That is a club!

I think so. James was having hard time finding a suitable cleft to make it to the specifications.

That's flippin' ridiculous - I want one!

Looks lovely. How’s the pick up? Can’t imagine it’s too light.
-
Great looks. Seems so bottom heavy though. Do you play on low bounce turf?
-
11" handle length?

I am located in Canada and yes we play on low bounce turfs.
-

Regular men’s short handle length. So I think it will be less than that.

Wow, that's an amazing looking bat. Hope it goes well for you over there. I do worry a little bit when the shoulders are planed so thin though, like they might fracture off if hit with a new ball at speed.

Yes you are right. Shoulders are thin that could be an issue especially on low bouncing pitches.

Wouldn’t it be the other way around?

Thats a lovely looking tree! :D

Maybe he means that on low bounce tracks, short pitched fast bowling will come through lower, so you'll be defending deliveries high on the bat that otherwise might fly past your chin.

Or in reality, there will always be balls on whatever track that could cause a problem with very thin shoulders. Variable bounce, pace and even just your own ability and timing all play a factor. Great meaty bat, but for me i would need that extra bit higher up for when i get it wrong as would cost a fortune in bats!

Makes sense. I’ll see how thin it actually is when I receive it.

I think some of it may just be camera angle to be honest and that it won't be any way near as extreme as it looks on the picture. I'm sure it will be a beast of a bat for you.
