Title: My Brothers Voodoo
Post by: Canners on September 06, 2010, 10:34:04 AM

Got this bat sorted for my brother as he was after a new light bat....... and liked the look of the pics i showed him, he's not as fussy as i am with bats so it wasnt hard to persuade him this would be what he was after, and that of course i wouldnt mind having a go of it myself ;)

After emailing Charlie my requirements we agreed on a dead weight of 2lb 5.5 oz, and with stickers and grip applied i have just weighed it as 2.8. Picks up lovely

so heres my bro's new bat.....

ENJOY

Those labels just look so lush!!!
And for a fully loaded weight of 2'8, it looks generous profile!
And if I know Black Cat bats, then this should play beautifully!
Has he started knocking it in yet? How does it feel?

Everything is in the detailing!!
A lot of thought has gone into the bat, the stickers, and the whole concept! Good work Charlie!

I've already offered to knock it in for him, goes pretty well off the mallet.........

I can see this ending up in my kit bag

feels lovely in the hands :)

The stickers are different class, The silver is raised giving a 3d effect

There are just so many nice bats around atm!!

I limiting myself to one winter purchase and I have narrowed it down to either,

M&H Distinction
Black Cat Voodoo
Blue Room New Wave (already have one and its by far the best bat i've ever had or seen)
or
Redback

M&H was winning as I didn't really want 2 of the same bat, but after seeing those pic's it's becoming a tough choice!!

One thing the top sticker should say Type A rather than grade A... or has that not come in yet?

They look better in the flesh, the bat itself is a stunner it was 2.5 1/2 before stickers were applied and has 30mm + edges..... btw it is now in my kit bag ;)
