Got a call on Friday off John to say that my bat was ready if I wanted to go and collect it sometime soon. So decided to go today! Took a fair while to get there as the sat nav on my iPhone decided to play funny f*****s and send us on a tour of Shropshire! Which in the current state of the roads wasn't fun, and Dad wasn't to impressed about having to drive like a rally driver!
Got there and called John, he met us outside his little workshop. Very nice little place indeed, I went inside and he had made three of which I could pick from. Picked up the first two, and thought hmm okay there a little light. Picked up the third one, and it felt perfect. So gave it back to John he slipped a grip on her and gave it me back, and I said yes, I will take this one please! I asked if I could have the blue stickers from the curve, as they match the blue on my pads, and he was fine with that too. Great service all in all, and I'm a very happy chappy!
The weight is around 2'12, well it was 2'12 before stickers and the grip
It isn't the nicest looking piece of willow, but I didn't ask for that when I spoke to him, I just said whichever piece responds the best, and it does respond awfully well off the mallet.
Overall very pleased with the service, and very very pleased with the bat, and I would recommend anyone around the Shropshire area who can visit to do so. It's good to see where your bats come from!
I apologise for the pictures as they are from my iPhone but I have tried to take the best I can!
