Thought I'd best showcase my settled match bats for this year, I have 3/4 sitting around that just won't make it this year. Not even sure if I'll get settled into the Aldred unless I'm in terrible form!
Feel bad that I haven't reviewed either of these on the forum, so I'll post a little about them as I go!
We have a blank RK from Ryan, a custom copy of a very special Chase I was gutted about breaking. Comes in around 2.9 ish once tape and grips are sorted. About 12 lovely straight grains and a pretty high middle with very little concaving. Ryan made a cracking job of this one, really starting to go nicely!
Next up an Aldred Gold Sovereign. It comes in around the same, although the pickup is slightly different with a little more weight in the toe, but for the size of it, still very nice! > 20 grains, a big strip of heartwood and a really long middle, been very impressed hitting up with it so far!
Both Ryan and Paul were fantastic to deal with, I'm a difficult customer. Can't wait to start using these in anger! Sorry they aren't as immaculate as some! Pre season!!
