It is exactly that, no concaving whatsoever....... :)

So does this bat have concaving, or less concaving or no concaving?

Looking at the pictures, it does seem to have some concaving. Definitely does not like the Tour.

Possible to post a picture of the bat from the toe up?

Original post says minimal concaving.

Bat looks very similar to those that Canners posted a pic of in the 2012 kit topic.

Just to add, the bat looks good, obviously it is graded on performance rather than on looks. Which is good.

The middle is a bit high for my liking (more a mid middle bat) but then that gives the batmaker the room to play with the size of the bat and the edges.

I am sure it will have a decent middle low down as well due to the amount of wood on it.

How is the pick-up with a single chevron grip?

I think these two pics answer the question - we don't want to get mixed up with Roco's bat - the bat on sale clearly has some concaving, but it isn't a classic indian shape - for me this is nearer an Ultra shape - where is Canners' Girlfriend to confirm when you need her?

Welcome to the forum. The bats look great and at £150 for UK made that sounds a great deal. Only quibble I have. It states edges exceeding 45mm but in the second picture it looks as though the tape measure isn't on the edge of the bat at all. Looks as though you've stole 5mm there!

Personally think it's a great looking bat and a good price. Sadly too heavy for me.

Canners = Blankbats???

Here is what I have.

Very similar to yours. It is under 2lb11oz with 40-42mm edges and minimal concaving. Pretty big bat.







The trick is the flat face (like on the 2012 GN, SS KP, Bradbury, LW etc). The flat face makes the edges look bigger. If the same bat was to be pressed like a Newbery or a Salix, then the edges would shrink by 4-6mm.

But these are too many fine points to look into. As long as it plays well and picks-up well, who cares whether it is a flat face or small edge etc.

We are currently using the one batmaker- who i regard as the best. This may change in the future but as far as im concerned we will be sticking with the current one due to the quality bats we have recieved. If this changes you will be the first to know :)

I#d say those edges in your pic looked to be 34mm Yash?

 Could they not have a small bb logo branded on the bat somewhere to show it comes from blank bats.   :)

all in good time my friend :)

the initial concept is to provide people with the best quality bats at a top price. These bats would cost double if they had stickers on.
