The front



The back



The profile



She's fairly concaved



And last (but by no means least) the grains!

Specs

Edge size 40mm
Spine height 63mm
Weight in its current state 2lb10.5

Performance
It's hard to judge a brand new bat on performance of I'm honest, as a "plank" can open up and become a gun over time.

This one taps up the old ball fairly well, with the bottom 2 inches being dead. It taps up nicely from there to just under the Master sticker. Despite the concaving the sweetspot is nice and wide, so should be forgiving to off centre shots.
I'll be able to judge better after she's been knocked in.

Finishing
I love the stickers! That's why I wanted a master!
Very nice, well polished and beautifully smooth all over.
The TON stamps may not appeal to everyone but I like them.

Handle
Nice and thin, almost semi oval at the bottom (feels nice and not perfectly round).
The binding isn't perfect but that's an SS quirk.
Definitley no nails present!

Service
Everyone has been on the back of OLS recently.
I got pictures of the actual bats sent to me, and the details I'd asked for.
All questions were answered quickly, I ordered the bat Tuesday and received it this morning, great product and a great service.

I can only judge on my own experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend OLS.

In answer to the questions

How many is that now? I have 2 SSs and 3 bats in total for the season. I sell to buy now to avoid having a stupid number.

How much did I pay? £97 posted

"Brilliant profile" I personally agree, but those who don't like concaving may have a fit! I'll get a picture of that when I get home.

Never heard of this one..even SS site doesn't have it
It does have the new sticker design - similar to Sanagakkara's bat with the SS<< design in front
More confusion from SS branding
So what are her vital stats ?
