Hello all bat makers, custom companies and forum dwellers.

As I will be taking up a summer job and shall have a bit of surplus cash lying around, and what else to spend it on but a cricket bat or two! 

I am after something really special, cleft wise! And I have a shape in mind... In fact, on paint!



The spine is a little out, but it was really just to show the flat face!

As money is not an issue, I'm really after something not to short of perfect. Something that really performs, looks good and is light/big! The holy trinity.

And to compete with a Bradbury Players X which belongs to a friend of mine who, despite my H4L still believes his bat (and off the shelf bats) is/are better. 

I will be doing a fair bit of research and taking my time on this bat, so I apologize if this post is slightly premature!

So to all those bat makers out there, if you have a really special cleft lying around or happen get one in, comment or drop me a PM and I'll get shall be right on the reply!

Thank you one and all,

Kinda like a Nitro Extreme

[Blank Bats]

Looks like our new shape, I will have a few of these for you to choose from in a few weeks

looks similar to the SAF bat Andy was talking about today, or the new tempo h4l I think.

those blank bats are good too!

Does look similar to all three of those shapes!

Does the Tempo not have more traditional edges? And I have always liked the look of Blank Bats... Hmm

It would be awesome to see that shape BB! I'm sure I will soon though.

I plan for this bat to be quite chunky!

What weight is it your after?

[RightArmRapid]

A little late for a summer job?

Ohh right, I live in Australia!

I'm after 2.8 ideally, but perhaps 2.9. with 37mm+ edges and roughly a 70mm spine. So a low density cleft!

Don't want a lot do you?

[toby176]

Just the standard, everyday trimmings of willow mate

I figure, why not go all out! With something really nice, that shall be envied by all the land!

Best of luck with that.........

GM Icon + Original. Get the flat faced version and get a bit lucky with the weight and that won't be far off.

B3 cricket are very good I hear

The reason I have gone for this is that over here, the GN XXX is just massive. With dimensions very similar to that, if not bigger. So it can be done..
