Baisicllay saw a thread talking about Serbian willow earlier in the forum and curiosity got the better of me. I messaged Gary on Instagram, inquiring if he had any clefts left. Luckily enough there were 2 still available. The customer service was top notch and got it made to the specs requested. Literally messaged on the Monday and had the bat by Friday. Gary was extremely helpful and I would reccomend him to friends.
Currently I'm still knocking the bat in after giving it 2 coats of oil. In terms of profile the bat is massive, (certainly the biggest ive ever owned as im not one for big edges all i usually require is a full profile)40mm edges and a spine of 61mm at 2.11 weight. Its slightly heavier than what I normally use but it's defo something I can get used to. I have a TK lam which I used for comparison reasons and I from the initial response, the ping is very good(bear in mind this has bearly been knocked in) this might be something to do with the soft pressing as I've found it easy to make indentations with the mallet. But from 1st impressions really pleased with this purchase and can't wait to take it in the nets.
Also I forgot to mention it had 23 grains
absolute beautiful piece!
