Kippers if you have followed me over the last few years you will have read my thoughts on profiles. A bat in the hand is about personal confidence, how it makes you feel with a piece of willow in your hand. I played professional cricket in an age with the old fashioned style of bats on quick county and international pace tracks with the traditional parallel edge bats that people now would say we're suited to low bounce wickets. I watched great players score double hundreds and hit the ball just as far as players do now with what would be deemed minuscule bats compared to what people accept as the norm now days, and they didn't have to bring the boundaries in to create sixes like they do now, poor bowlers. The bats were pressed properly and balanced properly full stop.
All my bats are made to order specific to the individual. I take great pride in the quality of the pressing in every grade of willow we sell and also how the bats feel. I want people to get bats every bit as good as we used to get as professionals with a service of yesteryear not many pros get bats actually made for them now.
Whichever profile you like and feel is the nicest in your eyes and is going to make you feel happy and confident is the one to go for and then we make it from there for you.
