These pics are of tendulkar's bat that he owned during last 2-3 years of his international career
These pics are like one to die for (atleast for me)

Weight 2-12 with one grip. Its amazing how the master blaster used such heavy bats and even heavier earlier in his career against the fast blowers.

ENjoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy









Thanks to Mr Surinder from RS for giving these pics. They use this as a template to make tendulkar shaped bats. I have got couple of SRT shaped bats from RS and those have been top top quality.
I am sure this post will make your Monday much better

I still cannot understand why Tendulkar used such low middle bat given that he is short and would be middling the ball higher even on front foot drives. Also, he is so strong off the back foot where obviously the ball meets the bat higher..

That is why trying to understand in the first place, otherwise why bother

Sounds like you know better than Sachin does.

Or maybe he is just curious to know how Sachin use it with such mastery.

Probably so successful because he found something comfortable to him, got used to it over years and years with only the weight ever changing and even that not hugely, and stuck to the one shape rather than chop and changing, it's not all about where the middle is, it's all about what feels comfortable and works for you out in the middle

Some batsman, but what an ugly bat shape that is, to my eye anyway.

It might have something to do with hard work and being talented, no bat scores runs on its own but I get your point.
