That's an impressive bat mate. Massive considering there is no concaving. Don't worry about the uneven edges. Just goes to show it's been hand crafted!
Yup, it is a big bat! The only annoying thing is that some extra weight could have been taken off of one of the edges!
Doesn't affect the bat performance in any way, but eh, you know I can be picky with bats.
I have a B and S LE and the spine does not run down the middle of the bat!! So definitely hand crafted but not done very well. The handle on mine is also oddly shaped in parts.
Ah right, that's rather annoying! This one runs down the centre, as you can see in the 'toe up' pic.
very impressive, nice grains. I really like the shape, the only downside is 2.13 weight, would've been fantastic if around 2.11
Yeah, I'm thinking that you may very well get a bat of this shape and size at 2.11 with that Crown cleft you're getting from B3!
Hi little review Chad!
I picked a couple up at Vitas after the launch by B&S and had a swing around for a heavier bat, nice pickup. As it's been a few months is this the Tendulkar shape or the standard one?
Was really impressed at the time and seem excellent value for money, keep us posted on what it plays like!
What's the pickup like in comparison to some of the rest of your 'fleet'?!
Yeah, normally I'm pretty long winded, and after reading what I wrote, I still think I talk too much!
Yeah, it's the Tendulkar shape, and this one was made for a Test player I believe. The response is really good, among my top bats for sure! (You would expect it from a 2.13!)
The pick up is good, my friend thought it was a 2.11, but felt really nice in the pick up, and was impressed with the performance. (I would have guessed it was 2.11-2.12)
Hi Chad glad you like your bat so far the weight difference I apologise for I do put the weights on my self can only think different scales different readings.Side stickers I agree not great next year zero just B&S engraved into the wood .I look forward to your post once its been out for its first road test any problems Asad or myself will be more than willing to sort out
Cheers
Gary
Thanks Gary, there's nothing wrong with the look of the edge stickers, it's more down to the size and fit of them! A B&S engraving does sound nice though! I think the road test may happen today, I've been spending time knocking it in, and it hasn't taken long at all! Really beautifully pressed. Also, the gluing down of the bottom part of the grip is a nice touch.
Very tidy bit of polishing there Chad, the bat's not bad either!
Have you considered whipping the stickers off the sides? They are very large.
Looks like a very good profile and weight. I wouldn't worry about the difference is sizes so long as it picks up and pings.
Have fun (and more polishing!)
Thanks Matt, I must admit, I need to give her a clean! Not been playing enough recently…
I think I'll be taking off the stickers after the net tonight, then giving the bat an oil. It has knocked in really nicely, I've spent some time on the edges and toe, and also given the middle some knocking, afterall, that is the part I
intend to use.
Yeah, the edges aren't a worry, just could have been whittled down in weight a little had they been even!
I am pretty fussy afterall!
