Massive B&S bat. (Biggest bat I've seen in person)
« on: June 08, 2017, 05:43:11 PM »

Just pictures for now, but figured I'd share this beauty. Edges are around 56-57mm with a rounded face camber. Will probably be around 54mm once I've finished rounding them. Spine is around 75mm I think and it weighs 3lb. An absolute monster and beauty in my eyes, the coat of oil has really brought out the grains. Enjoy!



























£2 and £1 coin on edge.




@InternalTraining :

Bow - Pretty big.
Ping - Don't think we've invented a word to describe it yet. ;)

Wow stick! Not sure if it is just the pics but the handle seems angled backwards than a regular bat?

Pick up on this is superb, but yes, gonna have to go back to weights to use it! I have a large variance in weights among the collection, but haven't used anything that's over 2.12 is a while!

Wow stick! Not sure if it is just the pics but the handle seems angled backwards than a regular bat? 

It does seem it, and I did notice it seemed a bit funny while holding it, but I think that was down to the bowing! I didn't check properly, but I'll double check and let you know! Not something that's of great concern to me though. :)

Well, those two coins are ~51mm so that is indeed mahoosive! Handle does look backward set in one pic but I think that is an illusion compared to the others. Would be interested in the actual weight too. Beauty!

Just a tiny bit under 3lb in current state is what it weighs. I think judging by all my other big bats, it's a low density and oversized cleft too. :)

That thing should come with a health and safety warning! Amazing bit of willow there.
