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)
