That does look awesome - but I think it looks really "square" (well rectangular) - actually it is a noticible that bats are losing some of their soft edges for a more aggresive functional look...

Looks a great bat!

I agree, I have noticed bats becoming more square and aggressive. I was watching somerset v waricshire last night and Keiswetter's M&H looked huge with very square edges. Not the typical M&H look

Flatter faces are ok, but ones that are completely flat (or close enough) still look ugly to me.

I'm starting to come round to the flat faced bats. I think they look good, and play quite well.


But, do the boutique small brands have the ability to make and pressed these flat faced bats?
As I've only seen them come from the big manufacturers

Anyone have any ideas on the cost of this? I'm assuming the Aussie "mark up" is significant

Yes they can if they have full control over their product rather than just applying stickers to ready made bats of a certain grade.

Welcome to Australia thats whats with the huge cost - this is why I buy bats from the sponsors on here - get a cracking bat for half the price of a top big named bat over here, including postage from the UK
