Regardless of whether lynn uses this shape or not , it seems a perfect @InternalTraining shape ! It's everything you've been looking for lately , big spine (like the velocity 2000 original , almost xp80- my smallest xp80 actually has a 77mm spine ! ) , big edges , big toe , big sweetspot,  sk made , grainy . Hopefully my meulemans sk bat ( i will have it in a few weeks) will suit my preferences half as well .

You can't go wrong with a SK bat. A great bat maker that is consistently doing what others in the market are still trying to keep up with.... Good luck with yours .... It should be a cannon if it's coming from Meuleman's.

Hmmm. I wonder if there's any if those in 2.14/15 anywhere.

I know where my cash will be if there is

Do they make Velocity in standard blade? If yes where can I buy them?

[aussie.kooky]

Yes , The standard blade is the 700 , 900 , 1200 ,1500XL and 2000XL. Any Gray Nicolls retailer in Australia has them in stock.

I keep thinking of ordering one of these. not sure if the middle is too high for UK pitches?!

being one of Chris Lynn's friends and use to play at the same club, you get to see what he is using.
He dropped a bat round the week before he had surgery for me to fix and it looks nothing like that i'm sorry.
Different sticker models, different shape, different shape toe and no forward set handle.

I got the bat because Lynn did not use it - too big for specs. SK made it for him. Also, from what I have heard, SK made bats don't always match the "standard" catalogue shape or even one another - there are slight variations.

I don't think this is a standard Velocity shape either even though Mueleman use its picture for the Players Velocity shaped bat.

I have just purchased one of these bats from Meuleman's and I have to agree with Australian Fast Bowler in regards to the fact that it is not the same shape that Chris Lynn uses , not even close.... I have not seen any marketing that ties the two together either , apart from the fact that he endorses the Velocity range with Peter Nevill and Kane Williamson. I have a normal Velocity 1200 and now a Players Choice and the shapes are vastly different. It is good to see that some of the SK big bats are still selling and I believe this is a niche area of the market that will continue to love these bats for a little while to come at least.

This bat was a "one off" and there is no marketing for it. In fact, it was in the possession of one of the family players who wanted to reduce its weight.

Gents, fret not , SK indeed made it for Chris Lynn who never used it. 

And, I trust Bob Mueleman's word.

[Aussiecollector]

I think bob may be getting a call from SK , not impressed by bats that were given to the family ending up somewhere else , made by sk yes , for chris lynn no , & i trust stu's word , he is in fact a silent observer of social media & is aware of CBF posts

[SRH]

SK if you are there give us a sign.

[richyreed]

SK if you are there give us a sign.

I felt a strong gust of wind through my window as I read this, he's among us .....

Are you SK's mole on this forum? Are you to him what Podrick is to Brienne on GOT?

Man, you post all these cryptic message but nothing ever concrete. Let's get a public message from SK about this bat. In fact, put me in touch SK. I have Bob M's word and it is good. All you have is speculation. Man up, bruh.

Dem's fightin words dem is  ! 

But , yeah Aussiecollector seems hooked in with g.n aus somehow... perhaps works at g.n melbourne factory ? Who knows , maybe even one of sk's underling batmakers ? .....would be nice if he told us , but understandable if he didn't. 
I cant think of a reason not to believe either b.meuleman or s.k ..... so I'll leave it up to the cricket gods . (Perhaps skip1973 could be the only other potential candidate to be able to shed some light on these mysterious g.n oz goings-on ?)

Golden rule of the forum number 1: buy bat
2 if in doubt , buy bat
3 if it is the wrong bat , then its a reason to buy 2nd bat
4 repeat this process until you find 'the' bat
5 after 2 weeks of staring /drooling over 'the' bat , decide it's just 'a' bat , and repeat process from step 1 again .

One has to enjoy the drama and unfolding storyline of this thread. Just as GOT ends, the Game of Lynn's Bat starts.

What will the next twist in the tale be?
