Inspiration needed
« on: June 26, 2013, 10:28:39 AM »
Well after having to take this summer off from playing the game of Gods I’m now starting to look for some inspiration for a new bat.  :D

So if anybody has a massive 2.8 to 2.9 bat they would like to show off please do. (photos would be super). Ideally I would like a really long middle, chunky edges (seeing as I seem to use them more than most) and good pick up. Oh and must go like the clappers  :)

I did have a little play with a salix WASP which was quite nice..

So who's got what?

I've just recently made one that would fit the bill. I've posted it on the bat making section under another bat out of the door. :) just finished a custom order for a forum member also.

Send some emails to the forum sponsors, both the bat makers and retailers.

I'm sure you'll find something, actually, if you get in touch with them you will be stuck for choice.

They may be too busy making amazing bats to come to you!
I was at Hell for Leather recently and Matt has some amazing ready made bats and part made clefts in.

Salix is nice but im thinking of a slightly longer middle about an inch longer towards the bottom of the bat and slightly thicker toe  ??? 20mm chopped off the bottom might fit the bill..

Fair enough chap - the Fatbats is also unsold and has a longer middle with the spine going into the toe.

That said depending on your budget I'd just talk to Ryan and get a bat made to your specs.

I know that both Paul Aldred and Matt will tinker with their stock profiles but you need to approach them. They won't come to you (not meant to be narky there).
