Grain groupies will be all over that mate. Had a little knock up with mine last night, felt lovely. Indoor tonight so will report further afterwards :) see how it stands up to those ridiculous hockey ball things they use at Headingley.

Thanks Buddy!

The grains are lovely, a little disappointed with the imperfection.I am hoping the stickers will cover it, lol

Look forward to your thoughts after your indoor match.

I wouldn't be worried about the imperfection lad. People are way too hung up on aesthetics!! It's a natural, living material when growing. Were not all Herculean in appearance, well, maybe I am  ;) but its only the same principle... Nobodies perfect but everyone offers something special.

Feeling all philosophical today.. awww

It will play fine, you'll like it, end of  :)

I am 100% sure it will be fine. Just me being a tart!

I do find it intriguing the way batmakers imagination's work. The two bats I am having designed all follow the same principle of a long low middle but both look completely different to on another. It is pretty cool. When I go get my third I will ask for the same and will be interested in how that will shape up! RPC will be next!!

The imperfection isn't in the playing area though, and it gives the bat a bit more life. I think it looks beautiful! You'll have no problem middling it with that profile, that's for sure! ;)

I never thought to do anything like that. Very good project mate.

Well, I know someone who could sort all that out when you get round to wanting one ha hav

Lovely piece of willow, how's the ping?

Not tapped it up yet mate, I believe from others that have a DS this should ping well, I will update once I have had a few throw downs.

Had a quick half hour net earlier with a friend of mine that works at a local school. Spent about 30 minutes against the bowla machine at a gentle 55mph and the bat plays really well. Very long middle and nice ping already. Will need a bit more time to get match ready but early impressions are very good.

Good to hear it, there is something quite classy about the stickers as well.

No the middle is mid placed and is very long due to the profile.

Used this for about an hour this evening and is opening up so well. The middle is excellent and a few o the guys at nets this evening were very impressed. I also really want to point out that the pick up on this bat really is exceptional and as good as anything in my collection. Really pleased with Dom's work.
