Having had a Salix Fera prior to this, and a temporary Puma Iridium 5000 as a stop gap, I've three crackers in a row. But this is a league above as its just got so much wood without the weight.

It was a Fearnley VR 5star and a Magnum harrow before that. Had a ten year lay off in between so big gap in my bat history.

I will let him know Dave!

And Dan does make some excellent bats! I like his mentality and he is always thinking about new and fresh ideas!  8)

Wow, that drawknife looks REALLY sharp in vid 2 where he is shaping the handle. One mistake and you could end up with a big gouge! Nice hands by Dan!

So these vids are from last year when you got the bat made originally?

Skipper J. That's correct. It was custom made at the start of 2012 season so netted with and played full season. Dan just made as good as new: sand, polish and new stickers. Had a Tiny splinter out mid season which I glued back and got resanded flush. Luckily I found it on the pitch and kept it.

Amazing thing is that I just can't seem to level out the face towards the edges.  It's compressed into a lovely middle but didn't compress nearer the edges. Must be middling lots of balls! Even tried a mallet to even out. Don't think it has any negative performance but would be lovely to get even more middle out of it.

Great video and should put to bed the harmful rumours spread on here about Chase not making bats!

Not quite a FLC, but I thought I'd share a few photos of my R11 which I had custom made last month. It's a 2.11 lancer/finback hybrid that picks up like one of my 2.8 bats. Adam and Dan were great and ensured I had a wonderful afternoon out.

It was actually a gift from my wife who arranged the whole trip to Chase cricket. I believe it cost an additional 10% of the selling price of the bat for a custom one and going to the workshop. So £270 + 10% for an R11.
