[Bat Wizard]

I don't have the software to craft this but lets see if anyone can capture my imagination.

Starting with the toe = 40 mm thick and solid
Going up from the toe towards the mid, the first 2 inches with no concaving or spine.
Edge size starts to diminish and becomes about ~35 mm in the middle with significant concaving in the profile with a spine about 55 mm
The sweet spot or the middle of the bat, very, very high to balance out the thick toe.
Spine remains at about ~ 25 mm where it meets the handle
Shoulders about ~ 20 mm
A very deep Asian style bow in the profile
Roundish Handle

And obviously not more than 2.8  in hard pressed grade 3 willow.

For you as asked....

You seem to be obsessed with my "wet dreams". I think you need some serious psychological help.

For you as asked....

Looks heavy but impressive.

I would like have significant convacing starting two inches above the toe, and slightly reduced edge size where it's the biggest. Sweet spot also needs to be moved up north to counter balance the fat toe.

By yes, your bat sure does look scary.

Maybe some clubbies are only good at using the toe and not the middle so blame the toe for being too thin for their shortcomings.

We have recently started playing cricket on asphalt pitches where spin bowling is not allowed.
There is no finding the middle of the bat. The ball pitches at regular length and appears in front of your nose.  If it's yorker, it breaks the bat so you need to have a fat toe, or else you must have a very high middle to take the pacey balls in front of your chest.

This cricket is not for the faint hearted. May be you wanna join us in a game or two?

@InternalTraining .... dude , you missed a golden opportunity here . If you had just replied 'how much bow ? How thick is the toe?' you would have gotten 100 likes for that comment !

This bat weighed 1100 grams. I would not call it a heavy bat.
Scary yes, my friend named it the ugly one.....
He is enjoying using it though....
Idea of concaving is only to get a desired weight, doesn't help
In anything else.

I would beg to differ .... two bats the same weight , profile - basically all other things being equal , i would usually find the one with a bit more concaving more balanced .

That's a Valid point, considering the dynamics of the bat.
You are right in saying what u say !!!

If it's 1100 grams then I would like to buy one as well. I thought it looked at least 3 lbs.

Can I get in touch with your friend to give his reference of this bat when placing an order with BDM?

[Bat Wizard]

I am not sure if my friend is on this forum.

Something like this? Your exact dimensions, would actually come out around 2lb9 with a standard density bit of willow (allow for a bit of guesswork on how much a handle weighs).

Have you talked to Laver guys yet? They already have something called Legacy which is quite similar to what you want.
