After wanting to get a new bat, I turned to pete. I always fancied getting an SS so I asked him if he had any. Quick reply from Pete and I soon started to dribble over this bat he sent pictures of. The bat was made for Yuvraj Singh , I wanted to get a really classy bat and this ticked every box. The bat weighs 2lb 10 but honestly, it feels so much lighter. The pick up is second to none. It has 35mm edges which is amazing considering its not a heavy bat. Pete got it from a contact who has excellent ties with SS and other companies so knowing that the bat belonged to Yuvraj makes it that extra special ;) Started to knock it in this morning and it responds very well. I look forward to knocking it in tonight and will add my own pictures when I get time but for now, I can show you the pictures Pete took. And a big thank you to you Pete, great service I am very happy !!

Love the stickers on that bad boy, don't get why the normal SS bats have half the blade covered up
-

Looks a lovely bat with almost perfect grainage! Some beauties around at the moment that is making it very hard for me to resist buying another bat I simply don't need!!(but want!)
Hope it plays well for you dude

That looks immense. Middle would be a little high for my liking but a wonderful looking blade! My wallet is getting twitchy seeing all these nice blades, it's a SAF next for me though. Unless a tempter pops up lol
-
Makes me want to try a SS even more!
-
do ss bats are as good as any i have used i have a blank off asad was a beater and still going well
-
Think my next weapon will be a redback....
-
yes thanks guys. Been knocking it in for the past hour and it really does respond well. By far the best bat i have owned its an absolute beauty :)
-
Really glad that you like the pick-up and feel of the bat....that's half the battle!
I knew it would be an absolute rocket of a bat, so was never worried about that.

Huuuuuuge for a 2'10 bat, looks awesome mate!
-
i have recently purchased one of these Platinum Res...mine has the Ton stamped into the edges but its a nice looking bat yet to start knocking in as waithing to find a mallet
-
Sorry this is slightly off topic Toby...
Ads, I think Mike has a lot of mallets in at the moment, worth dropping him a PM if you are in need :)
And back on topic, that is a very nice bat. Looks fairly similar to my old Lekka, a very nice bat that was, now in the hands of a mate, not all bad as I get to use it every now and then!! :D
