New wands
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:02:09 PM »
Got these two little stunners through the post today and pleased is an understatement as with needing a long blade bat I was contacted through secret channels by the baron who sorced me these two trees

Specs

2lb12 and 2lb13 naked!!!!!
38mm edges
Little concaving
Mid middle
1" longer blade
Oval handle
9 grains on heavier one 8 on other
Faces flatter than Paris Hiltons chest








Communication was brilliant with furry face and while if not for car trouble they would be here earlier I can let him off with that for the sheer quality of the pingtastic bats plus loads of grips thrown in as I'm fussy with set up

Before people ask price I paid it was premium as these were made for WG Grace himself there just a little late

Love the one on the right, not a fan of heartwood on the one on the left.

Hope they serve you well  :D

Little update on these

Only used the heavier heartwood one but boy does it fly effortless boundaries and long blade has made a hell of a difference
