At that price, it wouldn't be in the UK. Not so sure about Canada though.

Tim & Ryan, can I expect better stick from UK in 165 quids? I am keen on evaluating my options for next year, giving thoughts to Newbery, Salix, Aldred, Redback and Blackat. Is there something good at that price from M&H? My main criteria is performance, looks come second.

is it just the pictures as the splice looks to be off centre compared to the spine of the bat?

mate I think its due to the angle, was difficult holding bat with one hand and taking pics with another

That's what OS names it, custom unbranded. But I specified the profile & the weight I was looking for. He tried to sell me another bat (he had it ready for shipping) which was 2.9 and had around 15 straight grains (and absolute beauty to look at, better than my current one), but it was 2 ounces too light for me, I want a bat which feels something in my hand and hence I look for heavier ones. I currently use 1 one of my team mates bat which is similar profile with 3 Lbs in weight (atleast) which feels nice to my hands, except when I have to play uppercut which gives me a jerk.

The other bat that you are talkign about, was it from SS?  ...

I could be wrong but looks more like a customised SS to me.

It does look like the SS LE Gold but the handle does not look like a SS. My SS handle is a lot like a Laver and Wood handle.

parthnayak the other bat was also a blank unnamed bat, the finish, no. of grains and looks were superb, this one comes equally close, willow is really great quality.

Palmist not sure of Customised SS but looking at pics of all the bats he showed I believe his custom unbranded bats come most probably from SS factory.

imperivm the handle is not the best but looks similar to some of the SS round handles, was very thin round handle. The slight difference in the shape is due to 3 applied grips.

sorry should have been clearer, when I said customised SS, I meant tweaked SS.
