Been experimenting over the winter with big massive bats and big weights and through evaluation from a coach and from myself involving heavy net sessions i have come to the end and this is the bat for me.

Surprise it not oversized or heavy it suits me both in terms of swell position and also in weight.

The pick up is better than the tonto which surprised me as the middle is not as high up and the toe is thicker.

I have the hitting area where my cracks and marks are from all my bats and followed a simple pattern.

Choosing the cleft was important as i new after 4 different designs to get it exact what i wanted and around the weight i wanted i was left with not many clefts

at 400 this bat would be around 2-12 and a half finished so i new a 360 to get it down to around 2-8 and a half which i have been told and feel is really my optimum weight with this pick up which was tested on streaky new contraption which will be show very soon.

It will be used straight out of the wrapper on the bowling machine as i have knocked the edge in and toe and happy to bang and go.

So the cleft it has quite a number of grains which is unlike me and a knot further down the blade which add the character to my bat .

Why the square toe because it feels right like it and it what i wanted!!!

SO

Density 361
Weight 2-8.5 Oz (Scuffed and finished)
Spine 68mm
Edge 39mm
Profile Full 1mm concaving higher up blade
Shoulder 12mm
Toe At thickest point 25mm

Anyway enough Pictures








Pictures ain't great sorry for that got to be honest I'm like a kid you know when you try a few and don't find then finally the one comes .

My passion for bats has risen since Christmas again i have had the best from India and England under my nose but this is special really special and i picked it.

Took along time but I'm very happy sorry for the crap English and grammar will report back after netting will i go in against balls as well as machine !!!!

2.8 and a half??

Jesus Dave, that's a cracker - wish I'd seen this before my order now haha.

What's the lowest density you can do a 1 stripe? Looks need not be an issue...

I will ask streaky mate not sure as there over 1000 clefts in at minute i know half are processed into piles

That's an absolute beauty!

@procricket B3 this seems like the Mullanator with less concaving, and square toe.. no? Similar sweet spot location?

Different middle position, different size shoulders, different spine high and different into the handle no mate it not close to the mull pal it a different shape but i have a Mull.

Toe different and a different recess duck it's more like a Asian style bat as i ask B3 not to bone me edges and leave the front and back edge square mate.

Dude, we gotta work on your punctuation...takes a few minutes to decipher your posts

[procricket]

If i'm honest i don't really know what punctuation is i know it marks and stuff i hope people understand what i write

Not sure where do you get these names from but the bat looks a belter and its an lovely shape. One more bat added to your collection.

It not a million miles off it really middle slightly different and not as big a duckbill but no your not far off.

It a mixture of a few Kholi,Clarke,Finch, and my Tonto it a culmination of bats.

Looks a cracker! Will be interesting to hear more on this pick up testing invention.

[amritpremi]

That's a real good profile Dave, had it been 2 weeks earlier I would have requested for this bat. Simple yet efficient design.

Lucky your involved with b3 Dave as the amount of bats that you've had made that have had tweaks, looks a good shape. Where in cm from the toe is the middle position for you? As this looks like it's mid low due to the big swell near the toe.
