Frankenmallet, cheap and heavy
« on: January 31, 2016, 08:53:25 AM »
Thought I would show you my GN mallet with additional weight added. May be an option for those not wanting to spend the big bucks getting a heavier mallet. Easily customised to the weight you need.

Exactly what I thought. One mis hit on the edge and you've got a shitload of scrap metal in the face of you brand new bat!!

A proper heavier mallet is cheaper than a new bat!!

Not exactly. My LV cost a bit....but loving it.

I reckon strips of the lead flashing used for roofing and gaffer tape is less lethal than that WMD. Top marks for originality... Far less for practicality.

Haven't had an issue using it yet, if I can't hit the bat with it from 12 inches away what chance have I hitting a swinging ball.

I'll take the feedback on board as it does look a bit nasty, cut off the rest of the bolt and it's a keeper.

That's a good idea. Maybe also straighten the weights to make it look less jagged.

Expanding on your idea. How about using round washers and inset them on both sides about a cm with one of those hole cutter drill bits? Probably less weight but also no chance of edge death. You only need to get to 700 grams on that size mallet and the nut and bolt is part way there.

It only takes the mallet to skip off the edge and your in trouble. Leave it with you.

The socks are something else, Made by Stance, they are the best socks I've worn.

Simmy, the mallet is no joke. Today I cut the end off the bolt with some bolt cutters and the balance is a little better, also weighed it, 1.1kg and still struggles to make a mark on my new B3.
