As for the sulpher i have never seen a bigger bat at that weight ever bar no bat and i have only seen 7 lower density clefts out of around 4000

Some bats look smaller on pictures but this one looks as big in the flesh. Lovely bit of willow that. Too light for you Dave  :D

Lovely bats, but can't shake my hatred of square toes I'm afraid!

Seriously! I'm struggling to stop envying those exceptional bats.

Only cosmetics I haven't jumped on the bandwagon with is Square toes- Meh. Pros seem convinced they work. Why? Extends the reach?

I'm trying to cut back my bats from 4 to 2, but between B3 and Aldred my bat buying affliction is returning. $Aus better recover soon.

Thought I'd best showcase my settled match bats for this year, I have 3/4 sitting around that just won't make it this year. Not even sure if I'll get settled into the Aldred unless I'm in terrible form!

Feel bad that I haven't reviewed either of these on the forum, so I'll post a little about them as I go!

We have a blank RK from Ryan, a custom copy of a very special Chase I was gutted about breaking. Comes in around 2.9 ish once tape and grips are sorted. About 12 lovely straight grains and a pretty high middle with very little concaving. Ryan made a cracking job of this one, really starting to go nicely!

Next up an Aldred Gold Sovereign. It comes in around the same, although the pickup is slightly different with a little more weight in the toe, but for the size of it, still very nice! > 20 grains, a big strip of heartwood and a really long middle, been very impressed hitting up with it so far!




Both Ryan and Paul were fantastic to deal with, I'm a difficult customer. Can't wait to start using these in anger! Sorry they aren't as immaculate as some! Pre season!!

Hmm, it was a G1, rather than players, so one down from the top model. Which can only be down to Pauls grading because its a pretty ridiculous looking grain!

Think it was £210 from memory! Comes in well below most big brands and well worth it so far!
