Something very special
« on: July 17, 2017, 07:58:47 AM »

Arriving today, I finally got my hands a custom Virat kohli shaped BDM bat specially handpicked by Mr Aditya Mahajan  :D
It was quite a long wait but to say it was worth it is an understatement!!

I've never seen anything like this before personally... a absolute stunner at a weight I definitely did not think was possible given the specs....Truly phenomenal!






No Stampings and minimal stickers were requested by  :D....

40mm edges and around 65mm spine, pings quite well, feels more pressed than my other BDM's.

Anyone wanna try and take a guess for the weight??

Between 2,8.5-2,9.5 I'm guessing.

Looks a beauty.

I am sure if you are making people guess the
Weight...... 
you might need a weighing scale to prove the
actual weight of the bat. The weight is unrealistic
On this bat .....

Thanks it is actually....:





It came fully wrapped and with some tags, showing it was 1030grams.

Absolutely phenomenal how light it is.... feels like holding a junior indoor cricket bat

It is a SH, standard length with 107mm width for the face.

Again just super impressed with this piece of willow!  :D

Was it as a request for it to be that light?

Any reason for the super light weight?

Just requested light as possible cleft for ~40mm edges and full profile... I have plenty within 2.9-2.12 so wanted to try something very light

VK shape is proper duck billed mate and so is this bat. As I mentioned, the bill LOOKS longer than a regular vk profile.
Can you post a profile shot with the bat standing @Shinpathy ??
