Title: Bargain custom screaming cat profile (??)
Post by: Mfarank on December 09, 2020, 04:56:24 AM
A teammate of mine is moving back to England and letting all of his kit go. So among all of his stuff this bat caught my eye and i snapped it up for gbp20. Would love to know as much info as you geeks can give me about this. All i know is that its a custom shape. very old school and possibly a screaming cat profile? Help me out guys. How old do you think this is? Who is the batmaker? It is an absolute belter though.

Awesome deal and find!

It looks similar to one @Chad had: http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=19256.0 (http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=19256.0)

Oh wow, I was just thinking about this not long ago - strange how small the world is! It is very similar to what I had before, in fact, I'd say it's the exact same bat - I'm surprised it's still in that tip top condition. Let me know if you intend on parting ways with it - it was the first of MANY bats I purchased online, but being the first, obviously I'm feeling a bit sentimental just from looking at it!

IIRC, the batmaker was TK for Black Cat back then, and this Custom Profile was actually meant to be an old style Distinction - done with an non-oversized cleft. @Six Sixes Cricket was actually the first owner and I bought it off him! I cannot remember who I sold it to though... Funnily enough, Black Cat was the brand I was suggested to look into by a friend/coach, which led me to CBF.

Yes chadders, you were on about this the other week. Mine originally, it was i think the 3rd attempt for them to get the shape correct. Ended up with an original distinction in the end

It is a lovely shape - what would it weigh?
