TK!

What did you pay for it, @ppccopener ?

[ppccopener]

It was a real bargain, pretty much new when I got it. So far I've hit 52,20 and 56 no in 4 innings.
Well under 100 quid.
eBay is a gamble, sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn't.

I do remember others posting on CBF about distinctive shoulders, so I figured it might be a genuine TK.

You can't be sure, bu like Hunts county bats and Salix too-they are a certain shapes.

I think if someone gave me a blank Salix I could tell if it was genuine....but you are guessing a bit of course.

I have a Gray Nicolls bat which was made by TK for some pro player. I wasn't sure about it until I saw the shoulders. Look just like this bat.

Yes I think the shoulders and the dark cane in the handle(pictured) are clues. It's always a bit of a guess but I remember going to choice cricket to see some bats years ago(Gary i think is the guy-ex hunts county)

Every single bat I saw there had a distinctive shoulder shape, I havnt seen that style on any other bat.

Gary Sandford. What is the relevance to TK made bats?

Haha! Well I'm happy it looks like a TK bat. The seller just said made in the south of England when I bought it.

Have to say it did cross my mind as he's a Sussex player  it could just be light weight ....

It's a big bat for 2lb 8 oz and goes beautifully. Who knows?

Could just as easily be Luke Wells. Bear it in mind!

Yes correct. None at all just a distinctive style of shaping shoulders
