The ping looks quite impressive and it has a very nice sound

Looks good mate! Does anyone know if this shape (or Chad's map? Couldn't find the topic.) are now available as a custom profile or do other customers have to get it bespoked themselves? Haven't ordered mine yet, this is tempting!

@WalkingWicket37 Might of missed it in your commentary but is that an exact copy of Simon's bat or did you need to downscale the edges/spine to meet the weight?

@uknsaunders I think it was mapped then had the edges reduced a small amount to get the finished weight to 2lb9.

Now this is on the B3 computer, you could modify the shape so it's a bit bigger and have it made in a low density cleft  ;)

The bats become custom as soon as one is mapped but it will be in the weight advertised as a 400 cleft will give if you get me.

There will be no modifications to the shapes though

Would be interesting to know the weight of an exact copy at 400 density. Curious as you wouldn't look at it and say its a massive shape and Simon's wasn't a heavy bat. Looks can be deceiving though!

Looks a great bat!

I do not think either Chad or this was where massive volumed bats but bats have changed so much in the last 18-24 months.

I think it looks a cracking bat. I nearly ordered one myself after seeing your initial post. However settled on one stripe, shape 15. Looking at your bat I hope I haven't made the wrong decision.  :(

What weight is the screaming cat? As the spine looks huge on that.

That is pretty light for the size, I was expecting closer to 2lb 12oz. Definitely a collectors item.

Cam!!!  That is some major-league carpet!  It reminds me of my chest hair just after Mrs Fattus has blow-dried me.

So after a few emails the bat was mapped, this design provided and payment made.



I requested the bat to weigh 2lb9 when finished and left the B3 boys to work their magic.
After the shape was finalised the hardest choice was what combination of grip and stickers to go for!


@WalkingWicket37   what it he middle position on this? thanks.
