A new blade from Woodstock...
« on: February 03, 2016, 12:12:06 PM »

I know this may be somewhat of a profane brand to be getting kit from being a part-made specialist (take with a pinch of salt you lot!!) here in the UK, but anyway it is a new stick so I thought I would show it off, 'cos hey what is this forum for??  :D

Onto the bat; I had got sent out one from his new range for 2016 the 'Classic CVX' in the players LE grade and it is most certainly a looker. Once again however, a distinct lack of scales can only lead me to speculate on the weight of this bat but it has to be said that the profile is nice and full. This isn't my first Woodstock and it is highly unlikely to be my last either because of how it goes off the mallet and ball.

Now getting to the good bit, the vital specs:

Edge:                              37mm
Spine:                             58mm
Weight:                           Assuming something around 2.11
Pick up:                           2.10 ish?
Middle position:               Mid but its nice both higher and lower of the middle position
grains:                            A beautiful 14 with about an inch of heartwood
Profile:                            Full

Enjoy the pictures guys  :D

Wow looks like a beauty.

Have they made their stickers smaller or is that a very long splice?

Nice Bat. Is the CVX just a model designation or does it mean something else?

The stickers look smaller than that on the other bats i've had. Also I assume that the CVX aspect of the bat stands for convex in terms of the profile, maybe? It is a beautiful bat but adds to my dilemma regarding bats  :-[

Aaah Right, I was thinking more in line with the Roman numeral aspect of it.

It would have to be CXV to make sense in Roman I think, CXV would be 115.

Never had a hit with a Woodstock but played against a lad who had one the other year and even though it looked about 10 years old (dark well oiled and tiny edges) it went like crazy.

Hope it gets you plenty of runs!

Not too sure to be honest, seems a bit more rubber-like material than what you see on most bats. Good thing about speaking to John @ Woodstock direct is that I was able to get him to select a better looking P-M bat for us, pings nicely so happy days 👍

Lovely shape, and good-looking stick of willow. I've a Woodstock and it's a crackingly fine bat. Some  folk get pointlessly snobby about part-makes. The skill is in the shaping and judging the pressing for each individual bat. Much less about a roughly-shaped cleft. You may as well get frothy-mouthed and indignant over every podshaver who doesn't grow their own willow trees. Or every one who uses a CNC machine.
