New XXX Vll Handcrafted
« on: February 21, 2014, 08:49:19 PM »
After seeing Over Gully's bat I have been wanting one for ages. Talked to the guys at Muelman's in Perth and ended up purchasing this amazing piece of wood. Fantastic service from the guys there, and in 3 days I had a this beast delivered from Perth to my front door in NZ. I'll let the pics do the talking. Currently knocking it in for next season.

Fullsize SH 2.8 :o
11 grains, 42mm edges and a 63mm spine

Can't tell by the angle of the picture but is it close to the oblivion profile?

The photo's really don't do it justice and almost make it look dirty.
It is one of the nicest looking bats I have ever seen. It was actually quite hard starting to knock it in as the edges were so sharp. Carefully had to knock those down to a rounded shape. Amazing pick up and quite unbelievable the 2.8 for the amount of wood. I can see why Over Gully reckons all the WA pros want them.

Not cheap though :)

You've been spoilt with crown clefts Dave, that's nowhere near excessive concaving!

Maybe your right Steve as a fan of concaving that looks heavily concaved to me.

I do like the shape though
