Nearly finished low middle...Altered with new pics
« on: June 03, 2011, 08:50:27 AM »
This is the second bat i have made,the first was a mid middle this one is a low middle,but is it a bit to extreme weight is 2.14 (i like a heavier bat) but still have to bind it shoe goo it and grip it what does every one think.
I was thinking to have ago with it as i could always raise the middle/reduce edges at a later date if needed
My current match bat is 3 pound and i got 131 not out with it a couple of weeks ago
All coments welcome,good or otherwise


Cheers Mike

Hi Mike - you have made my Friday that someone on the forum has actually made a bat (other than a brand)!

Picture loading instructions are here... (teach a man to fish and all that)

thats a chunky bit of willow. how does it pick up? does it feel heavy but pick up well or feel bottom heavy?

 im in the process of making a handful of bats. will upload images once i get the internet back at home. restricted from doing so at work. proper pain.

With such a low middle and weight it is never going to pick up like a feather,it is a bit bottom heavy but that is to be expected,but not overly heavy.
I have tapped it up and i am very very happy with the response.
i will take a couple of better pictures of it to show mild concaving.
Now buzz has shown me the light i may post a few more pics!!!

Excellent work, looks really, really nice! Good to see someone making a bat in their own time. I love the profile, reminiscent of a 2'14 DF Retro I have of Mr Hosk's at the moment....and that's a stunning bat.

P'med you johners
I Have no intention selling unless an offer i cannot refuse,the first bat i made got 109 on its first (and only as yet) outing by my son,this one i am making is to my specs not his.
It was a stunning bit of willow and i have great hopes for it.

The cleft came from a very good source that is not a sponser so i will keep that to myself,but i had free access to all of the clefts with a mallet an narrowed it down to this one. and i am pleased with the choice
