Well, I always fancied Sachin Tendulkars bat, had a word with various manufacturers no one was ready to make a custom bat for me. A few got ready but the price they wanted to charge was over the top. Recently i got in touch with a prolific batmaker who makes bats for  lot of professionals, which i know he isnt lying because there was a news paper article on him. Even the owner of JS Wright visited his shop on his indian tour.

cutting the story short, i played a game with him last month, he let me use his bat and his bat was the best i have ever used. So i contacted him for a custom bat and shared just two pictures with him



 and gave him my budget which was on a very low side, because i dont want to invest more on my kit which at present has many things which are lying unused.

this was wednesday, yesterday he visited SM PINTU factory, where he makes his own bats, and sent me this on whatsapp




and today i visited his shop to pick the bat








this bat weighs 1350 grams, with amazing balance, pickup and an amazing punch.
Will be knocking and taking it to match on 23rd to see the final result, till now, very very impressed and satisfied.

That looks huge for the weight!!!
2.9

2.9 as in 2.9 pounds, not 2 pounds and 9 ounces.

1350 grams is almost 3lb.

I can't see all the photos, sadly, but the profile in the couple I can looks incredible. So big and yet so light!? Amazing. I hope you score many runs with it, good luck.

That does look huge for the weight! Hope it goes well for you and you get loads of runs with it.

Yes of course. Good point - 2lb 15oz. Bit heavy for this old guy 

[Gurujames]

Its 3lbs.
May be a lovely bat but it is not light

Forget my post
That's a big lump of wood!
Woulda bin made out of balsa at 2.9
I probably couldn't even pick it up
