Title: New Bat
Post by: Kez on August 12, 2021, 09:52:58 AM

Having seen plenty of Garrard bats around the league, got a skinny technique bat from Ed and recommended them to a number of team mates. I finally got Ed to make one up for me.

I asked for something a little out of his normal range, based on the great low middled Millichamp shape with some of Ed's touch to it. And the sole direction I just want something that GOES!
So when I get to visit I had a choice of two bats, which were almost identical. But here is the one I finally decided upon:

Ed makes a cracking bat, really like the more traditional styling of his branding as well.

Good choice.

Well done for going and seeing Ed.

I'm sure he treated you very well. Cracking looking bat.

I’ll make it interesting and accept a couple of guesses before revealing.
Peak spine: c. 62mm
Peak edge: 32mm

2lb 8 exactly. Still needs a coat of bat wax and some extra edge tape. But first impressions!  :o
