Morning all,
Last night I got my first custom made bat! Some of you may remember I stated how I could never justify an expensive bat, that is still true but thanks to John I can afford a custom made oversized beast.
After a few back and forths John and I agreed on a shape which is basically very similar to Chris' bat but with a bit lighter.
John was always quick to respond, even when I was probably talking way to much!
What have we ended up with, a G3 bat with 11 and sort of 12 pretty straight pretty even grains. A few blemishes but nothing that is anything to worry about. It has a good 35mm edges and a huge spine which I am struggling to measure but it is up in the 70mm range. The bat pings almost everywhere which is something I am really not used to with my old planks.
It weighs around 2.12 fully dressed, but I think it picks up better than that. Once I add a second grip that will no doubt improve as well.
The stickers are great, very tactile with some matte elements, but not too busy like many brands.
The finishing is superb, the smoothest bat I have ever seen and its great to get a toe guard and sheet thrown in.
I cannot thank John enough for his service and now with his end of season sale on I am more than tempted for another.
Will be off to IJC very soon to get this knocked in. Paul get ready with that mallet!
If anybody wants to know anything else let me know!!
