big 40mm off set edges 58mm spine going through the toe over dried to hell and about 2lb 7oz please sir

oh and a round handle and a bow starting around 3 quarters down the blade, shoulders around the 10-15mm mark at the top of the edge

all sounding so good until the over dried bit. not sure that would be possible without either a very low density cleft or drying it to a point it will break whilst knocking in.

some good feedback so far guys. anyone want something slightly different to whats being offered at the moment?

i did make a distinction profile from a standard cleft which came out quite nice. oversized would be good though

I remember, nice looking bat it was too! Based on that an Oversize cleft one would be huge...and probably quite a good seller.... ;)

Make a true Distinction profiled bat out of proper oversize clefts and don't charge over £250 for it! If you did that I would buy one.

second that, though a price under £200 sounds better.

Something with a very, very low middle, i.e 5in or so from the toe - according to Crictech this is where I hit the ball, so I'm all for it.

Something with edges the size of the face of the bat weighing around 2.8, looking at some of the cherries on by bat at the mo I'll be making runs galore!

I wonder what a bat with no spine but 50-60 mm edges and bow would feel and perform like? essentially the whole bat from edge to edge is same thickness, not sure if it would work but be interesting...is it M&H who have a bat like that already?

A few of the Newbery's aren't far from that.

M&H Master doesn't have too much of a pronounced spine in comparison to the edges.
I guess the Newbery Tour is similar profile too!

essentially a scoop without the scoop. i did  consider this but was unsure how it would feel.obviously size would have to be reduced slightly to make the weights decent

Think your prayers could be answered soon as a certain company will be making this/similar shape/profile soon

My ultra @ 49-50mm edges is the maximum you can get from a standard cleft.

Do these have a decent bow Pete? I haven't seen one upclose so don't know but I think you would need a significant bow to make the bat pick up well!!

Pretty much yes!! I think wouldn't be a bad experiment.. bat would be a little thinner on top / DF/ Laver shape...mid-low to low middle..
