Title: Symonds Tusker
Post by: gnkaboom on March 27, 2023, 10:46:04 PM

Hey folks,

Any idea where I can get a Symond Tusker Rhino profile bat? OR what is the profile called? Are there any manufacturers that produce similar profiled bats?
I saw the GN MegaPower but its a bit out of my budget : https://www.cricketbestbuy.com/products/gray-nicolls-megapower-original-cricket-bat (https://www.cricketbestbuy.com/products/gray-nicolls-megapower-original-cricket-bat)

Thank you.

I believe laver and wood make a 1:1 replica of the super tusker. Does that differ much to the rhino?

I have made multiple super tusker replicas - check them out on my Instagram Reaper cricket, great fun profile to make!

How about in this profile, LEACHY48? I browsed the Instagram account, but I didn't find it in this profile; maybe I missed it. Thx.

I did a similar one, not a copy of the Tusker but it could be replicated by any batmaker really. This was a similar copy of an old Slaz.....

I’ve made loads. Got one particular customer who loves them so have made around 8 or 9 for him alone.

Thank you.

I got this in mail y'day. Had it made by DKP cricket.
It's a replica but had some minor improvements done as well.
Weight- 2,9, oval handle, thicker edges and higher spine, 0 concaving, minimal bow. Pings like a truck. Already knocked in but will give a few taps more today, sticker it up and then good to go.
