Might pop down there in a week, anyone got any info on them, like the stuff?
-
it's pretty tricky to find for a start!. Down a farm lane from what I remember, just in the next village to Kippax. Very helpful guys, have loads of bats in their work barn. Not used a kippax but they did a great job on taking some weight off my Dukes bat.
-
oh! i think i get some discount because of the club i am still a member off, so hopefully will get a nice batt for me! also eyeing the gloves, anyone got a bat of them?
-
which dukes bat do you have UKSaunders? im thinking of getting one as they are dirt cheap
-
custom ton. I had Kippax lower the weight from a monster 3'4oz to a more manageable 2'12 but it's still got a big middle. Before that a Pro-Century, the best bat I've had in the last 10 years - it was shaped like a Jumbo and went like a rocket for a 2'10 bat. The Dukes bats are made by the guy who use to do Gooch's bats (Mike Stannard?) and he still supplies some of the Essex guys from what I remember.
-
worth mentioning that the pro-century wasn't the top the range either, G2 I think. Might to relevant to your choice of bat. If you can, go to the showroom and try a few. Certainly very good value for money at the lower grades.
-
yep i think ill have a look at a few of the bats or order one myself
-
Kippax are a fantastic company never had one my self but used one. in my league alot of players used them and they go like trains!
-
You must let us know how you get on and how your bat plays if you get one.
-
ive seen a crazy bat kippax have made..
they have drilled 3 holes in the side and extracted the wood!
and place 3 bits of kane straight though the center of the bat! booii does it ping! think its ilegal in some leagues tho
-
I don't suppose you've got any pics bud?
-
I would imagine that this will provide no added benefit to the performance of the bat - sounds like a repair more than a performance enhancing design.
I'm intrigued though - would be interesting to see it!

Sounds like they are trying to stiffen the blade possibly? Much like the kookabura graphite back idea?

i will try and get you some pics. next time we play the team with the lad iknow that has the bat! not much to look at tho jus a standard bat with 3 round dark circlues on edge.
kipax also do a wave x bat!
as far as i know the handle is not a v shape into the blade. its more of a wave design reducing vibration!
yet to see one tho with out the stickers but pick up is just same as a normal bat
