BB Silver Limited Edition (Misbah profile)
« on: November 26, 2014, 02:55:22 AM »






















For once, pictures before words! Not much to say for the moment, (Also pretty rare) other than:

The handle shape is a really weird oval. (Protrudes at both the top and bottom side of the handle)
Misbah uses a bat which isn't a million miles away from a Thruxton in shape. (This one was apparently meant for Misbah, unless I misread)
It weighs just a touch under 2lb 10oz
Seems and feels a touch on the soft side of pressing. (Extremely well pressed, and soft because it dents pretty readily, and the edges were easy to round)
Excellent finish
Decent value for money
Lovely bat, which will be knocked in carefully and scuffed before use!


Hope the pictures aren't too poor! (Not a very good photographer at all, couldn't really get a very clear shot of the grains!)

Lovely lovely shape Chad. So you are now virtually forcing me to buy this one, you already did it earlier with your "Chad" L&W  :(. How much does BB sell this one for (if you don't mind me asking)

Very nice, the first thing I noticed from the pics were the handle! I personally like a really oval handle. Looks flawless

Just realised, this one looks very very similar to the L&W "Chad" bat. Explains the reason why I like it.

Hi Amrit, I do no forcing, that's all thanks to the bat. ;) It costs £275 from bb for the Silver Limited Edition. I would drop them a message though, and see if they have any deals on at the moment!


That's a beauty! Is the edge recessed?


Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by recessed! Do you mean offset?


Very nice, the first thing I noticed from the pics were the handle! I personally like a really oval handle. Looks flawless


Yes, VERY oval! It's a skinny oval too, so good for those people who like to play touch shots, and also drive. It's strange for an oval to be shaped like this though!


Nice  looking  bat. Didn't  b3 have a misbah profile  also





Yup, they do indeed! Not sure though, this does look slightly different, as the B3 Misbah profile seemed to have a bit more meat lower down... I guess he may use slightly different profiles!



This one was supposedly destined for Misbah, so it seems that the profiles aren't 100% matching! (Nothing wrong with that, I have about 30 different profiles I like using! ;))


Hmmm hmmmm love that. Just a little on the heavy side for my liking.


Go back to your 2.8 CA. ;) I know what you mean, I always hate it when bats I love the look of aren't in my weight range, but eh, I've got more than enough bats in my weight range, so I shouldn't get too greedy. :-[


That is a beauty Chad. Looking forward for your review on the performance.


May be a while until that turns up! It is beautiful off the mallet and bouncing a ball on it, so good signs. :)

Yes, offset.

Ah right! Nope, doesn't really seem offset at all, if it is, it's only very very marginal, so I doubt it was meant to be offset!

Also what kind of a bow does this bat have?

It's kind of a medium bow, not too much, but there's enough there!

I think this bat represents really good value for money. Custom shape, lovely looking bat for similar money to a GN players grade!!

Agree good value.

We have made some bats and have made another batch for him and Shoab too.

Not really a custom shape mind  Keeley charges 600 quid for one of them to design a new shape.

Chad, does this bat have a mid/mid-high sweet spot? How does it pick up for its weight? It looks like it has a very nice, flows shape to it.
