Nice to know it gets a pro's seal of approval! I just loved the original and Pete said Mike could get me one made so I went for it. I think Mike's is even bigger than mine though....2'14 ish???

Lovely looking bat mate, hope it scores loads of runs for you. I love the shape of the toe, thick and the spine running all the way down. Out of interest, how big are the edges because they do look quite thick to me.

I haven't measured them but they are about 35mm width i'd guess. I think the one Mike had done for himself has even bigger edges though..

 The whole thing with this profile is that due to the high spine the middle is pretty much all the way down the face of the bat, the trade off is that it is a little narrower although I can't say I have noticed that yet, at least not off the mallet! If it's anything like the original it's hard to miss the middle!

Just wanted to say that the copy was identical to the original bat!
I was expecting some differences.....but you'd need to go over it with a fine tooth comb to find anything! And even then, it would be a challenge!

I hope you enjoy getting masses of runs with it. I had to talk pete into buying that bat off me. i bet he's glad he did.

Does look very similar to me  . . .

Thanks for getting the original made, still can't quite believe you sold it! Pete reckons they are identical and the pressing on it is superb so I can only hope it will perform as well as your old one...just got to knock it in now... >:(
