[WalkingWicket37]

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.

That's a nice looking bat.

Pics and thoughts added to the OP for those who can't be bothered scrolling through

Think this was on OS facebook the other day

It was indeed! He sent me the pictures the day before the Facebook post, and I think I'd paid for it before he posted the pictures there

Oiled, extra half layer of binding added and knobbly bits added to the top of the handle.

Just need to knock her in and apply a scuff sheet now

Is it just my eyes or does that handle seem really long?

I did think you'd bought an m&h when I first read the thread.

Exactly what I thought as well. A good looking bat, I like the decals too, subtle change from usual SS/TON stickers.

Really liking the look of this Cam, cracking bat for the money!!

The other bat on OS fb is coming to me......just wanna ask if its bottom heavy.

[WalkingWicket37]

@abdulwq not at all mate. Mine now weights 2lb12 (after adding a 2nd layer of binding, a scuf sheet and knobbly bits to the handle)
It picks up nicely and is very well balanced. Not bottom heavy at all in my opinion.

I only actually have this and the LinitedEedition now as I sold the Yuvi to fund this purchase. Im inflicting a 3 bat rule on myself so I don't end up with as many unused as I did last year! 
I'm glad that I did sell the Yuvi for this because as nice a bat (and shape) as the Yuvi was, it was a touch heavy for me, whereas this is spot on weight wise, being almost the same as my match bat (and better balanced)

I really like these stickers, much less busy than the other offerings from SS.

Question regarding the knobbly bit on the top of the handle.. What do you use for that and is it true that it improves the balance and pick up of the bat?

I use two bits of cut up octopus grip for mine (cutting them up is the best thing for octopus grips in my opinion)

As for improving the balance and pick up I have no clue to be honest, I only do it so I know where I'm holding the bat

It's been buffing me for a couple of days, but I was sure the shape was familiar. I realised today that it looks like the Kook ccx.
