Hi all,

Been a long time reader of this forum. Finally had the balls to post something on here. Looking to buy my first custom made bat very very soon as my current bat (Spartan MC LE with TAS inserts) is on its last legs. I'm really keen on the warner replica or even the GN Legend Gold bat but can't justify paying over $900aud for an off the shelf company unless someone can justify that price for me? Is there any anyone that could possibly replicate the exact specs of the GN warner replica or GN Legend Gold for less than $900aud delivered to Aus? Id rather support a bat maker on CBF than a large company. I'm currently using a 2.14 but I'm comfortable with a bat up to 3lb.

Suggestions on similar shapes and profiles also welcome

Tried to upload photos but keeps coming up with an error

Cheers

How much did a Spartan MC run with TAS inserts?

Try the B3 TKC Pepsi bat, very similar to GN Warner edition and should be much cheaper, right in your weight range mate. Get in touch with streaky @The Doctor.

Moved that how to upload photos topic out of the Pavilion into Forum Announcements. Seems a bit stupid to leave it in the Pavilion when newbies need it most.

Hey skip,

As in cost? I bought it about 3 years ago I believe from a CBF member for about $350aud. Its an absolute gun of a bat. The TAS inserts really do help I reckon. The Inserts are starting to split the bat in half though.

Ill try an upload photos when I get a chance.

Hey Amrit,

I have checked out the pepsi bat. Its quite a nice profile but middle might be slightly a little too low for me.  I did see one advertised on ebay.co.uk the other day. Possibly the owner is a member from CBF?

Cheers

This is my current bat. Just replaced the Spartan labels with Genuine Puma stickers. Its the best bat ive had but Ive only ever bought off the shelf unless you class this as custom.
The TAS inserts are starting to separate from the bat just from old age. '










Hopefully these work

Whether or not others have tried these Inserts, I reckon they do help a little. They do however add quite a few ounces to the weight of the bat. Its now 2.14. Without them it was originally 2.10 I believe. Maybe others can simplify how these inserts work

Cheers mate just had a look and they seem a pretty interesting concept

My only query would be around the legality of them? Seems a similar idea to a laminate or the graphite back sheets that kookaburra used to use?

Strips of oak (I think) with a natural bow in them.
They're put in the edges of the bat with the bow going the opposite way to the blade, which apparently improves ping.
