Me and Ryan have been discussing me getting a new blade off him for quite some time now, and I finally decided to stop being a little tease and get one from him! He 'whatsapped' me some pictures across and a picked a cheeky cleft. Got to say he kept me in the loop about everything, sent me pictures of it through shaping the works. Top bloke to deal with.
Now on to the bat, it started life as a little cleft, was fairly light from my understanding and has turned into a belting bat, a lot of wood for the weight! It was 2'9.5 without a grip, and Ryan put one of his hyrbrid bad boys on it, undecided whether or not I'll use that grip or a GM one yet!
The bat picks up unbelievably, I'm not one for caring to much about pick up, because I close my eyes when I bat anyway, but it doesn't feel at all 2.9 picks up a lot lighter to me. It's got 8 grains, straight enough for my liking, and evenly spaced across the face. 7 -10 grains is perfectly fine for me so more than happy. Now from the pictures you may think the middle is mid - high, which some of the middle is, but it extents so far down the blade it baffles me. Response is getting better after half hours knocking in (I (No Swearing Please) you not) and I hate to think what it would be capable of in a decent batsmens hands! I'll be giving it a good go on Monday after a few more hours of neighbor annoying (knocking in) this week.
I haven't got any pictures of my own at the moment because the camera has decided to play hide and seek at the moment, it's leading proceedings! So there's just a couple from Ryan that he sent me on the telephone!
I will obviously update this as the weeks go on and as the bat has more knocking in and use. I can't believe Ryan doesn't demand a higher price for his services. He's got top skills, and I'm very pleased with the bat. Cannot wait to get in the nets with it. This is what's know as a naughty naughty stick!
I will get more pictures ASAP!
