James, PLEASE make the bottom arrow red as well!

[Blazer]

It isn't the purist shape though 

: ( . I was hoping for an exact replica of a purist with the old stickers or closer . I have to thank Chad for making me a huge fan for he sold me a Purist which changed my perception of traditional shape.

[The_Bird]

Scored my first hundred with a long blade 909, my mate still has it. This isn't the same...

[Colesy]

Tom is this concrete, or will a whole lot of begging persuade them to tilt slightly more to the old shape?

[jamesisapayne]

It's a purist by name only surely?

[Colesy]

To be honest it's a traditional shape with bigger edges, I'd happily use this shape. I just hope they make a few final adjustments before production, only minor details.

[Buzz]

Ask b3 who invented that shape there say something different they do not claim it either

Andy's shape first. not b3

Concrete, I believe. It's being ordered by Aussie retailers now.

[Colesy]

Not too late for us lot then I hope. GM, listen to the people!

Late 2008

My off set private bin was ordered in feb 2008 ........

It still off set now and 5 years old

I think the first bat I had seen with offset edges was a Special profile from Laver, and the person said it was from 2008. Might have actually been your PB Dave. I'm not sure who invented it, but the first person I heard about the thinking behind it was Andy at SAF!

Are we seriously treating Wikipedia as a reliable source now??

Back on topic this doesn't really seem anything like the old Purist so rather disappointing for me

It was I not taking credit for it the bat came like that there was no input from me I guess it was built around anomalies for the weight and to make the shape for that weight

I would never put down a batmaker of Andy ilk


No but show me a off set edged bat that pre dates the laver special profile I sure there about.


Back on topic now it leaked I bet it changes

[uknsaunders]

Apart from the off-setting, not sure I see much difference between the Octane/Argon and this. Real shame, a 25-30mm edge with a higher, slightly concaved spine was surely the way to go and would give the bat some USP in a crowded market, similar to the Vantage Emerald or a smaller H4L Tempo.

This is not a purist. It is simply a GM bat with poor copies of Purist stickers...
