Hi guys.

First forum topic so go steady!
Just had two new bats off paul and was hoping that someone could upload some photos for me if I send them. Will post specs once they're up

Cheers.

2 new supremes.
2'12
Short handle
Put the purist in to compare.

I think paul has done a wonderful job.

Dat Purist

The purist is on its way out. Inside edge crack keeps opening up. Had it refurbed one final time before moving on. Interested to see who makes a similar bat shape. (Never paying gm prices again)

It's a pretty easy shape to make if your not bothered about edge sizes

Nice copy of a Purist. This is the first time I am seeing a bat that looks better than the original.

[horseman]

To be fair I sent paul my specs

8-10 grains
Bit of heartwood not a problem
Big spine and flowing edges (not massive as I think it takes away the skill factor and the challenge)
2 grips

 I think the purist came from an age where dense heavy clefts were the norm because the new aldreds I have show more size and a lighter pick up.

Now just waiting for the sun to come out.
