New Bat Just Finished? 2lb 15oz dresssed
« on: July 05, 2012, 01:47:58 PM »

Well this is my newest creation its 2 15 finished as it is. Its made for a team mate that wanted a big bat with lowish middle and big edges so hope this suits him!! I said for him to use it and after a couple of games if he wants it altered,i would. Hope he gets on with it.
He chose the third from the top from the four available. 7/8 straightish grains so should last (hopefully) longer after its played in.
Just realised the pictures show the bat without face and shoe goo toe which is now fitted






Got 3 more to make for other team mates now!
The top cleft has been reserved and should be ready for next week
Any thought or comments?

I know its probably just the photo angle, but to me it looks alittle bit lopsided!

Know what you mean, the spine seems to be slightly left of centre.
Anyway still a great effort and much better than anything I could produce.  ;)

That's usually how I feel when I pick up one of the heavy bats in my bag!

I only use light bats so would not know how guys handle these monsters

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

The Clefts came from a member on here that is now banned,so will not be named,the new owner of this bat rates it as the best bat he has ever owned,which is more down to the willow than me i expect,the edge profile is just "curvy and sexy" his words not mine!
That's 7 team mates that use them now and 3 more to make.
The thing is i know how they bat so can make to suit them,this bat for a beefy player that likes to go big,the latest one i made was traditional shape for a young stroke player moving up from a harrow,i haven't put pics of that one on.
