Affinitys x3
« on: August 19, 2015, 07:55:46 PM »

Broke my sat match bat last game, and wasn't sure if get a replacement in time for this sat game. So chucked up a wanted post for an affinity to match my midweek bats

Jb offered me an affinity carbine and it arrived today.

I've put my grip set up on and took the clear scuff off(not a fan). A nice fibre sheet(people clicking off the page now) will be going on soon.










Toro is 2.13 and used on quick midweek artificial.
Carbine is 2.13 and will be used sats
Droid/custom/persona is 2.14.5 and used on slow wickets.

Marcus at Affinity bro. I can vouch for them, I've got four! Marcus is absolutely passionate about the bats he makes and is great chap as well...

Fantastic looking bats, love the shape of the far right one, is that a custom shape?

Yep Marcus made it for me over the winter. The duck bill makes the pick up ridicolous on it!

That's what I was wondering because the middle looks nice and low but I've never used a duckbill before, does it make as big a difference as people say?

In this case it seems to, but haven't used many other duckbills before.

Thanks for the insight, I keep fancying a duckbill, it's good to get the input of someone else, especially seeing as you seem to use bats on the heavier side too :)

Just out of curiosity, what is it people think makes Affinity bats so good?

I would say a combination of pressing, pick up and understanding each clefts particular qualities and applying all that to what the customer wants.

And the bats look very nice too, which is worth a few runs

I got my first one recently, I think it's the pressing, pickup and the full shapes that make them outstanding
