Red Ink on Its Way - scratch that, it's arrived!
« on: April 21, 2013, 07:42:29 PM »
Just had an email from John with a pic of my bat that he finished today. Weighs 2lb 10.7 which is pretty much bang on what I asked for. Cant wait to get it!  :D  :D  :D



Bat arrived earlier. At football now but will do pics before knocking in on Friday.

Get John to make one for you, he absolutely nailed the profile I wanted and added his own twist to make it even better!

Really am looking forward to getting this. My first ever properly custom made bat  :D

A good feature to angle the toe.

I've got that on my Aldred and it stops/greatly reduces feathering.

Agreed, that's why I asked for it. Will be getting on all bats from now on.

As John said he was more than happy to accommodate all the features I asked for!

Nice one John!

This is what arrived on Wednesday. I've waxed it and started knocking it in, but will do plenty more to make sure it's 100% ready.


Profile pic, absolutely love what John did regarding the profile.

Minimal concaving:




Angled toe:

Red Ink and my initials:


Comparison to 2 of my other bats:
