Title: RS stainy grainy beauties
Post by: Mfarank on November 25, 2020, 11:56:27 AM

Hi guys,
These have been shared on their social media already but thought I'd give a more hands on review. Once again i chose these 2 clefts from a choice of about 7 clefts. They are made to the shape of Babar Azam's bat which they have a master copy of at their factory. They're both identical in terms of specs and both weigh 2lb10.5oz with the one of the right being about 5g lighter. Both stunning for butterflies. They're what some would say "emperor butterflies"  ;)
For sub USD 150 + postage you can do a lot worse.

Edge 37mm
Spine 65mm
Toe edge 22mm
Toe center 27mm
Shoulders 16mm
Face camber 5mm
Concaving about 2mm
Blade Width 106.5mm
Blade length 540mm
Handle length 310mm
Handle shape medium thick oval
Pickup I'd say an ounce lighter than the dead weight
Both ping amazing and will only get better
And here we go

Lovely!

For that price point, great value for money.

Specs look decent too.

I know right? In the hands of another company these could easily be stickered up to cover the stains and sold as G1 bats. Really happy with this purchase

Stainy Grainy!  Best name for a bat I've heard in ages!

As another man once said - what is the width of these bats?

both are 106.5mm which is pretty acceptable to me since the camber is 5mm and the edges are completely rounded
