Well I picked this up off a well know auction site recently.
It's in fairly good condition, considering it's age, but could do with a bit of TLC.
This was listed at 2lb11 and I paid £95 posted for it. I was pleasantly surprised to find it actually weighs 2lb10 exactly in it's current state.
Upon first inspection, I suspect that it's been lightly used and chucked in a kit bag, so the back is a bit rough. Someone also defaced the shoulders with a sharpie, so im guessing it must be a pro bat
This will need to have the toe guard (which is already hanging off) removed. I then plan to give all the exposed Willow a fine sanding so it's nicely finished again, then apply a coat of oil or two to get it into a useable condition.
The vital statistics:
Weight in current condition: 2lb10
Edge size at peak: 30mm
Edge size at shoulder: 10mm
Edge size at toe: 13mm
Thickest point of toe: 25mm
Peak spine height: 60mm
Concaving: heavy
Handle: a lovely oval. Also happens to be one of the Carbon ones
Does anyone know what the 50mm sticker on the edge means?
Performance
It seems to tap up nicely, without any lights being in immediate danger! The sound it makes is slightly different to other bats, which I expect is down to the special handle.
The toe is dead as you'd expect, with the mallet starting to rebound (or the start of the sweet spot) about 40mm from the toe. The best rebound (or middle, to those who can find it) is about 175mm from the toe, and the sweet spot extends to about 300mm from the toe (just below the hammer edge logo).
Anyway, enough waffle and measuring, I'll let the video and pictures tell the story much better than I can.
