Thank you!

Tried to lower the middle as much as possible for the slow and low Romanian pitches.

That looks lovely mate, Off set edge and all :) I wonder what it would have weighed with a little less concaving?

Thanks mate, it would be around 2.10 with almost no concaving.

Monster toe!! Never really understood why th etoe is so thick, more in the middle and less at the toe for me.

Bat looks nice, reminds me of a GM.

Stickers ........... ok but could do with looking a bit more modern for the younger lads to get excited. Remember stickers seem to sell bats these days

Thank you for your comment. From my limited experience, I have seen many bats cracking at the toe with the kind of pitches we have here.

Stickers are modest and I hope they will grow slowly in the eyes of buyers.

That's a serious stick mate. I really like the simplicity of your livery too. It's very nice.
