The shape reminds me of affinity dunno if that was the brand he made bats for or what

Not in the same ballpark mate!

It does look a great bat though, although it doesnt have 40mm edges, how will it hit a ball anywhere? haha

Think that's a tad harsh not in the same ball park

When has price had anything to do with cricket bats

I find people narrow minded on here funny 90 per cent of people don't know the difference when 9 out if 10 bats are the same.

Stickers and finish do not make a cricket bat but Dom finish is very good.

So go on ciaran tell us what the main difference between shills and Marcus bats find it a bit odd people are comparing without giving the said bat at least half a season to see

It looks like a nice bat but wondering if the price matches the looks/style. Anyone know roughly how much they cost?

Initial prices on the first 20 bats sold through the forum will be as follows - �150 plus postage for grade 1, �140 plus postage for grade 2 and �130 plus postage for grade 3 willow. These bats will be stamped accordingly on  the shoulder.

After that the prices will revert to �180 plus postage for grade 1, �160 plus postage for grade 2 and �130 plus postage for grade 3. All bats sold will come with anti-scuff and a tin of my own bat-wax - pictures of these will follow! The website is being developed and hopefully will provide a little more clarity and information.

Hope that makes sense!

glad people like it! the bat shape is a cross between a GM Argon and a Hades, so not too much concaving and slightly off-set edges.

lovely bat, period.

I just need to have a chance to use it...

That's a great looking bat and a lovely profile to match. Stickers are class as well. Nice work Dom!

How does it go compared to your other bats Buzz?

Glad you like it Buzz!!
I've been utterly rubbish this past few weeks with regards to messages etc - so apologies to those who have not heard anything in a week or so. I'm starting to get on top of things again and have the added benefit of being on an 8 week holiday......tremendous :)
Let me know when you hit your first triple hundred with it Buzz, tis' only a matter of time :)
