ok so during the ashes home series I decided to order a GN E41 custom made through vitas....2013 stickers not the new e41 oblivion as didn't like them as much
now when I buy a bat I am not that fussy
concave or no concaving not bothered as long as it pings
its when I have it I notice things I don't like
I basically requsted 2lb 8.5oz fully dressed (no scuff sheet or toe guard) with one chevron grip in white because that is important :)
8-12 grains with no heartwood
never had a bat made to my small request's before so wasn't really sure I was doing the right thing but £325 later it was ordered....






so there it is
am I pleased......yes I think so will need some good work with a mallet as is rather firmly pressed but the ball does sound nice off it
the weight with toe guard and scuff is 2lb 9oz and a smidge
the edges max at 39mm odd considering the name and the claim of GN
would I get another custom...?
probably not as with my minimal requirements I think I could get what I want off the shelf
Thanks folks
(apologies for review)

So when you say custom made you mean an off the shelf bat picked in the weight and grain structure you wanted.

Hence why it has the stock GN toe guard and scuff sheet

this is what I noticed it should have been custom made to my specs
I also thought gn custom made came with no scuff or toe guard
all others I have seen don't come like this...

The IJC videos for LE bats say they come without the scuffs and toe guards. I think.

Off the shelf ones yes, but this was supposed to be custom made

Doesn't that prove this is different to an off the shelf effort?

Is there any reason why u would want a custom made version of a GN bat? Or is it so u can get one that's made in the UK as the shelf bats are all made in india?

Having seen a few in the flesh I wanted one as they were far superior to off the shelf models
In terms of size and looks
