New Reserve: mega mid-high profile
« on: April 06, 2016, 10:10:22 PM »
The off-season impulse buys continue.

Saw this profile on their FB video and had to get it. It is very very similar to the DW shape, and the B3 Mullanator (one of my all-time favorite bats), and so it was hard to resist. They call it the "mega mid-high" profile.

Edges: 38-40mm
Spine: around 67mm I think
Weight: 2lb 11 oz (James expects it to gradually come down to my desired weight of 2 lb 10, similar to what happened with the Reserve he made for me last year)
Handle: extra thick oval - a thinner handle would have probably weighed about an ounce or two less.
Minimal concaving (I've realized the extra full domed shape doesn't pick up well enough for the weakling that I am, so a tiny amount of concaving was part of the request....still pretty full shape)

And here are the pics...the first one is from their FB page.







And now we watch the weight!

Will add that you couldn't really tell the middle position by just tapping the bat...response is excellent from about an inch above the toe, to an inch below the sticker....

That's a good looking bat. Let me know if it actually comes down to 2-10

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.

Give me some of that lovely weight loss! I have to battle every winter to stop mine taking on as much as 2 ounces.
