Got this Afinity just before Christmas. I have a very nice custom Carbine that I got off
@Wickets-then-runs so thought I'd get another one made and Marcus and I decided on a Voodoo and Carbine Hybrid. This is the reason I didn't need to buy that TON bat, but some things just can't be helped haha. Bat specs are:
2lb9.4oz's
37mm ish edges
When I took it out of the box the handle felt weirdish in my hands. I took the grip down and to my surpirse there was only half binding on there, with 3M tape wrapped in a loading fashion. Marcus said this is because it allows the handle to flex a bit more and helps by not creating a single point of weakness in the shoulder (which can lead to shoulder cracks). He said it was no dramas if I wanted it fixed, which I will get done when I'm over there (assuming I still have it). In the meantime I just put a half chevron grip where it has no binding and it feels the same thickness now. It taps up with a ball nicely, a little firmer than the custom Carbine I have, but that one seemed to be soft pressed to me as it was a gun from the get go but did have issues with cracking.
The shape is not exactly what I had envisioned when I decided to get it made (Just wanted the middle a tad higher) and didn't feel exactly right in my hands, which caused me to list it on Gumtree and eBay. However, I pick it up every now and again and it is definitely growing on me, so I'm a little undecided if I'll remove it from there. In anycase, here are some photos:
