Does that really mean the the David Warner shape is not really the david warner shape?

Maybe it should be renamed "the profile formerly know as the David Warner shape"

I see @hell4leather cricket lurking. So will pose the question.


When is a uk bat manufacturer going to produce a true Warner replica?? Why is it only gray nicolls Australia that seem to be able to make them?

@Red Ink Cricket

@Ryan

And everyone else that makes bats from start to finish can answer that to.

I've made something similar for Nick but to be fair I just don't have access to willow light enough to make that regularly. I also don't dry them out beyond the norm which I'm sure someone mentioned these are. Quite happy to dry one out further and try it but won't come with any guarantee to last.

Pros don't care if the bats break, normal customers do

David Warner bat has a yoog bow and B3 can't replicate that. GN England should be able to replicate it.

Can you put a yoog bow on it like the Warner bat?

I have a Warner rep Imported from aus john. It's not dry. There's a guy in USA that says his isn't dry at either.
The ones that do say they are dry are just guessing and talking about Warners actual bats, I'm talking about replicas.

I can put a decent bow in it yes. Not sure what warners is like to be honest

What's yoog mean?

Gray nicolls uk have already said they won't/can't make them.

If you can tell me how to measure a bow, I can measure mine and share the number with you.

Huge. 

Surprised to hear about GN -UK

It's hard to judge exact specs from pictures , having cut one of warners bats at the kent warm up game it was dry as f';k prob and about 8% moisture  ,also shorter handle and at a guess about 2.11 . Plus gn aus prob get 150000 + clefts a year so with that volume you will get a share of super light clefts , Or gn aus have super light handle technology

 I can do a 50mm edge bat at 2.13/14 but it will be concaved a lot  and a thin handle .  Just watching khawaja bat , the bat he's using looks like a standard gn , the big bash would have been  prob 2-3 ounces heavier

Just seen that AB has signed a new contact with MRF, no more Kookaburra!

We had a little fun trying to attempt the Original Warner profile in a Lam.... 2.13 with 46mm edges in a fullish profile. Pickup is brilliant for a 2.13 due to the placement of the middle which is high up the blade and very long. The actual Warner profile Ive seen had a 55mm edge and almost a 20mm shoulder edge.

Or should we call it the "purple rain" shape
