Thanks @sarg for the links. The shortened bat looks good. I am considering getting a T20 bat made which should ping from pretty much anywhere (especially from below the stickers).

[sarg]

Its only slightly shorter in my opinion so not only a 20/20 bat. After watching both the Kudos and Kudos2 Reviews by ItsJustCricket I can see the  blade length is almost the same as those blades, so suitable for all forms. I arrived at this by coincidence only.





I don't think the blade is shortened as much as Newbery Blitz or Uzi and certainly longer than a Mongoose Cor3.

Used my Db2 and Tonto yesterday in a social 20/20.

I went in at no 3 early on chasing 183 with the Db2 and three overs later my teammate runs in from the boundary saying the Db2 didn't sound right and takes it off me and leaves me with the Tonto. The only thing wrong with the bat is its winter and they need playing in and the 200 balls on the bowling machine is not the same a leather.

I should have said go away, but I didn't bother. But that restricted me to just gently playing the ball around and taking singles and twos rather than going big.

Batted for 10 overs for 25 in a couple of partnerships that went at 9 an over. Man I'm unfit, so i just retired with seven overs remaining and 67 required because i knew the tank was empty and i twisted my knee. 

Timing was all off, but I timed one perfect drive on the Tonto through extra cover that was dead in the middle on the Tonto and it rocketed along the carpet and to the boundary for four. I was only trying to gently hit the gap. Wow.

Pickup on the Tonto was noticeably lighter than the Db2 and i could still deft touch a few late cuts. Can't wait for proper training to start so these bats can get some more hit outs and to come to life.

Well feedback is the tonto was a success scored a lot of runs with it I could have gone heavier as it picks up so well.

I now use a 2-12 but have moved onto a mull for the last 6 games of the season with success.

I plan on doing some more designs this year if there any thoughts on something you would like to see please pm me and I will try and get it cad designed to see what it is like.

I looking more into the coverage side of things again with a more even convex look like the zizi but it trials season to have a look at designs again for the season

Being small Dave and 2'12 being heavy, I think you need something like this:-



The high middle will help pickup and bat speed.

[procricket]

Not big enough for what I'm thinking

How did the Sulphur go? For me that's really the 'Daddy Bat'

[procricket]

Went very well mate the original one the zizi went better in terms of pick up and love but the mull is different gravy . But I'm working wi streaky on something new as I write I have a plan but got a load of my light bats I need to shift like the tonto as I not use them

Got to many bats laying around too be honest time for a clear out a big one

So plans are do the design
Find the cleft

[FattusCattus]

Funny isn't it? In terms of shape the Zizi doesn't do it for me - the Sulphur is the best shape I've seen. I'm a little bit in love with it!

[The Doctor]

Dave has the pictures..... I think he likes it!

@ procricketb3 I'll have your cast offs pal

[procricket]

I know we seem to have gone all massive bats but I still love these bats got some deciaions to make and decisions are strong point with bats.

Spent half of last night messing with bats it funny some players we supply ask for small bats as they dot like the look or feel  of big bats.

I have weights ranging from 2-7 to 2-15 in bag need to sort it I guess

[JB]

How many are in the bag at the minute Dave?

I was trying to do the same thing last night! Its not easy deciding which ones to part with though!

[procricket]

10-12 maybe I don't tend to sell my bats only ones I acquire elswhere.

You got a few on eBay at minute John got my eye on one of it yours

[JB]

Stuck a few on last night, they're on the wifes account though. Its hard deciding which ones to part with, got a lovely TK Lukeys sports bat nearly went on but just couldn't bring myself to sell it!!!
