2lb 8 inc stickers and grips
1" shorter blade
1" longer handle
-
Beaut that!
Why the alterations Leo?
-
Pro bat
-
Not my choice, this bat was made for Michael Brown but he preffered the 1.5" shorter blade combo. Handle is pretty thin as Brownie feels this gives him more "touch"...
-
Lovely. Another absolute weapon it looks like! Is that your like 3rd/4th Redback now? :) - Snapped up a Bargain I assume :)
-
Only my 2nd Johan :) Bargain in the eyes that it was sold for the same price as a regular Limited Edition!
-
looks like a beast that !!
-
Definately done well there Leo. That is frustratingly good bat!
-
Beautiful Leo. Top work.
-
Impressive mate! Top looking bat and I'm sure it will be a top performing bat as well!
As Washington said why the change in length?
Looks big for its weight I must say...
-
Looks a beauty!
-
seems like redbacks are the new in bats....
nice looking bat youve got yourself there Leo......

Probably looking big due to the shorter blade, didnt ask how big the edges are tbh but will measure when I get it!

Oh right mate, still a weapon and a GREAT price then!

Uzair, there's your answer. The pro it was made for wanted these specs.. :)

Cheers Johan, was typing in this thread as replying to your PM so people posted before me and Leo answered :)

Wouldn't say they were the new 'in' bats. Gary has been churning out top quality sticks for a good while. I'm on my 3rd.
-
I guess that's true Mark. But at the moment, there really does seem to be a kind of frenzy about them. Great for Gary though! Wouldn't be surprised if he gets quite a few orders in the coming months due to lovely examples like all the Redbacks I've seen and used :)
-
I disagree, there was a frenzy but *camp voice* 'that was soooooo laaaaast year'
They are beautiful bats, mine is brilliant.

Agree with Richie - there was a frenzy on here, but it was some time ago.

Ahh before my time... :(

Leo
Great looking stick as good as you said
-
Another top notch Redback, I hope you score plenty of runs with it.

hows your puma doing?

Wow! Thin handle you say? Remember Gary commenting on another thread saying Brownie liked really think handles, presume he'd be a 1 grip man too

There's your answer. I'd think it is on the way to Leo now.

funny enough I had something similar done to a bat a couple of years ago. Took an inch off and thinned the handle. Felt great but effected the pickup slightly and the vibrations seemed worse when I hit one off the toe. Tempted to get a custom one made to similar specs in future.
Is Brown short by any chance? As I'm 5'7 I've always felt happier with with a shortened face bat ie. harrow/6 - even my daughters size 5 feels very nice.
-
He's not overly tall...I think about 5'10-11 from memory. Sure someone will correct me if I am wrong.. :S
Actually says on Wikipedia he's 6ft.. :)
-
He claims to be 6ft on his cricinfo page - http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/content/player/9265.html
-
He definately didnt look 6ft when i asked him for an autograph a year or so ago, id have thought 5"10 or so
-
That's why I said 5"10 as well...I thought that, got a couple of autographs from him, might get him to sign my Redback..? Good shout? :)
