Hi guys
A very good friend of mine who is a frequent poster here visited Meerut and picked this bat for me (though I was NOT looking for a bat for me )
, this bat was made for Pollard ,I knew that this is going be a special bat ,and it really exceeded my expectations when it arrived , The things which were different about this bat was first the handle ,it’s like the same feeling I had when had a chance to see a screaming cat professional series ,it has a nice thick oval handle .have seen some top reserve edition bats from SS but not with a handle like this ,secondly the length of the bat is almost 1 inch longer than other bats I have, have put up some pics for comparison with my custom made ca plus 15000 le (half inch long blade )and my old legend .lastly is the balance of the bat is just amazing .. Initially I was a bit hesitant thinking whether I could manage the weight as I had been told that it’s a heavy bat? but the pickup is like 2.11 , knocking in done and had just one throw down session with it ..just over the moon with this.. , I am sure that this bat will be my match bat once ready … here are the pictures
Specs : weight 2.13.5 with one grip (though it had three grips at time of purchase and weighed around 3lb)
Edges :45 mm
Handle : lovely very thick oval handle
Grains : 13 almost straight grains front and back with slight blemish
One inch long blade (almost)
Pick up, balance : really good
Concaving: Moderate, not heavy like SS normal bats
Ping: Amazing, best i have ever seen
All queries welcome.
Enjoy the pics.
