Shaped up nicely

No it's not me in the mirror in my fitness regime. What do you reckon to this one. Based on my vintage profile but with more guts in it. Beautiful pick up. This one is just under 2-9 at the moment. 1 1/4" edges. Waiting to be sanded up and polished.

What's the pickup like Paul? Looks like it could be a tad bottom heavy

Ignore that just read " beautiful pickup" haha

Looks pregnant... A certain pinger I'd say

Well Just looking at a couple of new shapes that are going to be our new range in what will be a change to our products for 2014. Just sorting logos and stickers out now. The first time I made this shape a couple of weeks ago it astonished me as to the pick up. It's based on my vintage and an old bat I had when I was playing.

Wouldn't know what the Michael Clarke profile is to be honest don't go looking too much at others just try and create what I think is the best feel and nicest shape really and take it from there

Subtle change to the bat posted here. Here's a pic with another one shaped up next to it. Can you spot the subtle change and which do you prefer. Both weigh the same too.

edge profile possibly? The one on the left looks slightly thicker at toe and shoulder. That said the middle could be lower on the left one, but they don't appear to be level, so it could be camera angle.
