I saw these at IJC and tbh wasn't overly impressed.
Granted, the photography is first class, as are the decals/stickers, but the overall package was just 'Ok'.
The toe was angled (as I like) to reduce feathering, but the angle was so acute I thought it might break. The balance wasn't very elegant or reassuring.

Thanks Magicman for your review and fasteddie for your inputs. I always appreciate constructive feedback and it has helped me to keep improving.

ST 2014 will surely be the reflection of such inputs.

For me the only thing that needs to be worked on is the handle. Though to be honest most stock handles in bats these days are stick thin and pretty useless. I think with a thicker more oval handle, the balance of the bat would be better.

However you can't get away from the fact the performance and overall shape of the bat is right up there with the very best. The handle is an easy change, you can't change the wood.

Right need people's help. Have tried to get the handle how I like it but currently unable to do so, so was wondering whether some would be able to re-handle it like one of my hold bats if I sent both bats off? Plus also take a couple of ounces off to get it down to 2.8?

I'm sure anyone with a set off handles, and band saw would be able to replace it.

I know b3 can easily, but they aren't a sponsor.

So try Matt at h4l
Or joh at red ink.

You may need to ask for some new stickers though, as they'd be a gonna.
