'X' shoulder stamp
« on: October 26, 2014, 11:29:04 AM »
Hi all,

Does anyone know what an X on the shoulder stamp means?

Most have a letter in a box but this is just an X.

Any ideas?

Made by Chris King as I understand it,  in Robertsbridge.

And, for my own piece of mind, that is a very good thing?

He is GN bat workshop on Twitter. I'd assume it's a very good thing.

Yes, he makes the Pros' bats and designs some of the shapes, like the Nemesis.  As far as I am aware, he is the main GN bat maker here in the UK...

Wow. Ill take that.

I was hoping it would be something good - not a factory second or something worse...

Finally, a bit of bat luck!

I will too, my Oblivion LE has an X on the shoulder. The guy who I bought it off said it was a Robertsbridge custom at least I know it's probably true now

My custom dynadrive has the same maker's mark and is a fabulous piece of willow so I imagine that your custom oblivion is also pretty nice...

It's a LH Tim, don't think it would have anyone drooling over it's looks, probably 40% heartwood, but the pick up and performance are both excellent! I'll try upload a picture or 2

That's been a really good buy then mate!! The risk was definitely worth the reward, is it in your weight range?

It's bang on 2'9. Best bat I've ever brought for £175!
