Whoops I've bought another bat!
« on: December 12, 2014, 01:38:23 PM »

I'll let the pictures do the talking.
And questions will be answered after I've played with grips and stuff so I can give an accurate answer.

She's a beauty though, isn't she!  :D

If I'm honest she looks very similar to most other SS bats.

I know @jamielsn15
That's what I love about SS, the minimal branding that oozes class!  :D

The bat looks nice but with all SS bats and most Asian brands.... Far to many stickers :(

It does look like a big bat with minimal concaving .
What's the edge size

I think it looks a pretty decent bat, I am a huge fan of that shape

What you should do is take all the stickers and the toe guard off - then get a sharpie and write Kohli on the toe and you can have a "pro" bat.

Measuring it using my iPhone I think the edges are 38-39mm and the spine about 60mm
Like you said, a lot of wood!  :D

It might already b written on there when I take the toe guard off  ;)

As for the shape, that is exactly why I bought it, plenty of wood in the right place (and the edges aren't too small either if that's what you're into)!

Proper full profile, that. None of your over-concaved 'ooh , look at my edges' nonsense with a ridiculous sharp spine running down the middle that would put an alpine ridge to shame.
