Been a while since I shared any batmaking pics, so thought I'd share pics of my new stick.
Vital stats: 3lb, 1/2" longer blade, no concaving, 35mm edges, 60mm ish spine and pings quite nicely.

interesting shape!

[ajmw89]

It's a sort of offset edge thing going on.  Makes it pick up nicely IMO.  This was a bit of an experiment as I'd never got on with a standard LH or LB bladed bat, but sometimes find SH on the short side, so I made something between an SH and a LB size wise.  If it doesn't work, I'll chop half inch off the toe!

The bats I saw of yours on Monday were very nice mate, handle wasn't to my liking with the square thing going on but shape was nice, spine was even and finish was good so well done mate, keep it going.

Be interested to see one stickered up with your new stickers

Cheers mate!  I'm looking forward to getting them in.  I know the handle shape isn't to everyone's liking, but I find it comfortable on my own bats.

But if you plan on selling them it doesn't really matter if you find it comfortable... It matters what the customer thinks

That's why I do them on my own bats.  Ones I sell, I make to what the customer wants

Ok, quick update on this.  Now it's knocked in and had a few nets, this bat has a lovely middle!  The ball flie.  For a big bat, it picks up lovely too!  Oh, and the new stickers are here! (Big thanks to Dean at Vulcan for sorting those out for me!)

Now there's some more with the new stickers on...

And this one is off out. Excuse the darkness. My flash decided to start playing up!
Vital stats:

G1, 2lb 9oz with 1 grip. Oval handle. Traditional profile

That left hand bat looks an interesting profile. A sort of dynadrive / SS Jumbo hybrid?

[ajmw89]

There wasn't much method to it. That was the first bat i concaved, so didn't have much clue what I was doing!

I like the look of the 2lb 9oz G1 bat.

Cheers matt. Just in the process of uploading some brighter photos!
