Really nice profile, as expected mate. Think those side on views (as much as your not a fan 😆), give a really good idea of the middle position and flow. Lovely stuff!

Lovely shape mate has elements of the amplus shape to it which is one of my favourite profile shapes ever made. Finishing looks tidy as always as well mate top stuff

Ha ha, thanks mate! You just get a much better idea of the shape imo from me a completely side on angle. This one's a lovely shape!

Top work as always mate, but agree on the weights. I think bats are being requested lighter and lighter, as most assume anything abv 2lbs 9oz will be a lump, or they've had one which felt like a lump previously at that weight. Yet when they visit and pick up bats, they realise they don't have to go so light.

Put weight heigher up into the spine and shoulders and a bit in the handle and balanced you can go up a few oz but if you bat along time you can feel it (hence get on the weights)

I think half of it is the bs they get from shops etc,,guaranteed when I weigh their existing bat it�s 2 or 3oz heavier than they�ve been sold.
I�ve got a lovely ss ton in for a toe repair at the min, that�s 2.11.5,,, the guy was sold it from a reputable shop as 2.9.
I�ve got another customer who uses m&h bats,, requesting 2.9,,,,I asked him to weigh his current bat and it�s 2.12 with two grips on.

I totally agree with Dave,, my match bat is 2.7,, I can bat for about 50 runs before my knackered joints give up
I could use a heavier dead weight bat, but my actual batting time would be severely hampered, as would my timing, and playing certain shots.
