Ah right, I prefer a slightly thicker toe, (I'm not the best of batsman) but a lower middle. I wouldn't know how to choose! I hear the 2010 shape was more susceptible to toe damage though because of this, and that's why they changed it.

An 'older' style Supreme probably suits you best then.

It will be interesting to see how quickly these bats sell and if any forum owners have bought one to have a good review as the season goes on.

Still, looks lovely and im sure plays beautifully :) Always a huge fan of that GT profile

The bat shape came about originally after a prominent Indian test player (not Sachin) had a few bats made by B&S when India last toured SA. This was the shape he asked for. So I guess there's no real surprise that the shape is similar to a GT. I can't stop picking it up, might have it myself :)

This beauty has sold and is on it's way to Jersey. 

If anyone else is considering a new shape Supreme, please get in contact as there are limited numbers available, weights start at 2'10.

Nice looking bat and a clever move to have an experimental shape.

Received the bat today, it is superb and picks up lighter than my same weight mh new shape distinction. Response tapping a ball is great too.

Well worth the cash, love this bat.

Ha ha, you're telling that to a bloke who wears a batting helmet when he's, erm, well, when he's not batting...

2 more BIG Supremes arrived today.

The one with the spiral grip weighs 2'11, the other one weighs 2'13 and is absolutely massive.

As many of you are now aware, the ping on these bats is sensational.






The bat on the left in the picture above is the 2'13, HUGE!



Hopefully GarretJ's upcoming review of his new weapon will sway a few of you into choosing B&S as your next bat.

The 2'11 bat has sold.

Is anyone in the market for a brute? The 2'13 is a howitzer!

Looks amazing, what is the pickup like on the 2.13 does it feel lighter ?

I picked it up earlier and thought I had sold the wrong one to the customer who bought the 2'11. Was a tense minute or so while I scrabbled about for the scales!

these bats do pick up well, Jake

My dad picked up my BS yesterday which was originally 2 11 (now has a thickended handle and two grips  so over 3lb) and cliamed it was lighter than a 1 grip 2lb 8 kookaburra rogue 850 which has no meat on it

i'll put a review when i finally use it properly in a match but no one would be disappointed with these bats.

Hello chaps, we have taken delivery of a few belting new shape Supremes. The shape has changed slightly to accommodate the lower weights, the 2'9 bat especially is something special!

Anyway, lets get stuck in with some pictures.

2'12 - Massive, no concaving whatsoever.






2'9 - Lovely pickup and grains





2'12 - Beautiful grains. Feels SO light (as GarretJ says above)





2'11 - Same dream pickup and again, lovely grains





Here is an LE in a Fireblade shape, big spine and edges, 2'10.





Supremes are £230. The LE is £235.

We also have a Tendulkar profiled LE, please see this topic for further info:
