Edges just above toe look the largest. Maybe a little off them. Bit
More rounding of the spine and more concaving. 2oz will soon go. Looks good tho. How does it pick up?

It picks up quite well, needs a bit of fine-tuning. I'll do that tomorrow, sticker it up next week and get some pics of it in wood shavings up :D

The fine tuning and then sanding will probably get rid of an ounce or two so wouldn't worry too much. U sorted the binding out?

I'll bind it by hand - I've done it before and I'll do it again, it takes ages but gets the job done.

I've always wanted to make a bat with an offset edge. Looks cool!

You haven't copyrighted that have you? :D

No, would be wasted on me and my badass MS Paint drawing skills.

If you make some, wings us a set over :D

The bat is now finished. 2lb 10.5oz with 1 grip (another to go on soon). When Ninja stickers are printed I'll take a pic of it Ninja-d up and in wood shavings.

Looks really good mate! I love the look of offset edges... Should look even better with Ninja stickers.
Any idea of the spine size?

Spine height is 60mm, and it come off the middle beautifully. It is very, very responsive

Very impressive!
Be sure to post more pictures with the stickers on mate...
How does it pick up? As there looks to be a bit of meat in that toe!

It picks up quite well, not great but it is my first time.


When it's stickered up I'll get some photos up of it in wood shavings.

Does taking a pic of a bat in wood shaving add to its overall value/performance/edge size?
