New bat from a Master-ious SSource
« on: May 11, 2016, 07:27:56 PM »
Evening all

Just thought I'd share some pictures of my new bat.
This was sourced through my club's overseas player from last season.

The specs are
42mm edges
66mm spine
2lb10 & 7/8 as seen

I think the pictures tell the story better than I can!

There's a couple of specs on the face, and heartwood on the outside edge for a left hander, but the 12 grains make up for that (I'm sure I counted 13 earlier...)




It's a nice duckbill shape




And just the one TON stamp on the back (ICC Regulations?)


And a nice full shape


Interesting handle

umm, SS higher end models seems (even mid range) to have straight grains with even spacing.
This must be either a special bat or ....
either way...that is a huge bat.

I think it would be possible to get something very similar.
Could be worth firing a few emails to suppliers to get one but there's more than likely a few about

@WalkingWicket37 , can you tell us how much you paid for it? curious to know how much an Indian made pro bat would cost when compared to UK/AUS made bats.

Thanks.

Okay confession time...

@uknsaunders and I were discussing the number of "pro bats" while we netted at Dummer the other week. I asked his permission before I posted this.

This whole thread is just a way of showing not everything you see on the internet is true.

I said you could get a £36 SS Master, and with the removal of a few stickers and addition of some Sharpie it would look just like one of the "pro bats" that keep popping up from various retailers.

So I ordered an SS Master for £36 (actually, I ended up with 2). I got lucky that one happened to be huge with 42mm edges and a 66mm spine.  It also had some half decent grains, which added some authenticity

Remove the edge and back stickers, use a rag and white spirit (or funky smelling aftershave) to remove the residue, give it a fine sand to tidy up and write on the toe.

You too can have your own pro bat for £36 and half an hour in the garage!
