Yes, but the choice of willow will be vastly reduced. They don't have much butterfly (if any) available unless it is requested.

Collection??? Not much of one... I have the 2nd least amount of bats in my team with 2. Even my opening bowler and first change have 3 each!!!!! I'm feeling left out

It seems Paul Collingwood has taken up the offer.

If you dont mind me asking why did you go and get a hand made bat and leave with it not to your weight specs?

Good question - I keep wondering that myself. We tried two different clefts (ie Tony started shaping one but decided it wasn't going to get down to 2'10'') and I re-iterated several times that I wanted something around 2'10''. Tony preferred not to take too much wood off ('you can't put it back on', which makes sense). He got it to 2'9, naked weight. with string, two grips, stiockers and scuff sheet it came out at 2'13.5''. It picks up nicely with the high middle but now it is home, it feels a lot heavier than my previous bat (at 2'10''). I keep pondering whether to remove one of the grips (weight at the handle, counterbalance and all that, I know) and maybe the scuff sheet.

whip off a grip, stickers and scuff and you might get it under 2'12.

I'm guessing this is no longer going?

I'm after a copy of a GM Halo SRW, 2"6-2"7

Please send me a pm to discuss. The offer to have a bat made (including copying a bat) is still there and always will be. Visiting the bat maker yourself is now less of an option. I put a time frame on it to encourage people to get it sorted early rather than clog the already busy easter period for hunts
