What shape is Malan purported to use?

Do any pros use the shorter blade option?

There's some details here from the Adelaide Bat Doctor, apparently his bats are only 2.8!- https://www.facebook.com/adelaidebatdoctor/posts/565980157073149

How heavy are the Vince bats? It looks an interesting shape.

Also, please forgive the question, but are GMs holding up better than 2-3 seasons ago. I have been away and haven't seen peformance over the last few years but the Vince is tempting.

When people question the costs of bats, sometimes it's good to get a reminder of the love and craft that goes into every blade... take it away Peter:

For £620, I'd want Dawid Malan to come with it and he can bat in my place.

Guaranteed average improvement.

Hahahahahah

What's this about "willow" not growing anywhere else. There is good, dense Serbian willow. Kashmir Willow. Canadian Willow.

@Six Sixes Cricket  , are there any differences in handle shapes? Or are they all thick oval handles?

Some nice bats @Six Sixes Cricket  I liked the Travis Head Vitas sourced a while ago.

Anyway this is the G. Smith Epic, really full profile with thick shoulders (you don't quite appreciate the size from the pics), with a forward set handle (no bow).

@Ams4287 I've been looking for ages to try and get a second hand Graeme smith replica and can't find one anywhere, it looks a beauty, even emailed GM to see if they could make me one and I was told no 😭😭😭

Ask b3 to make you one... I am sure ams4287 would be able to help out with measurements if the Dr doesn't have them already...

Very similar to the Trott this bat and you can see where it came from. Same handle from memory too.

Good bat
