That Denly bat looks a big chunk of willow from toe to shoulder, what are the specs on that?

Very very little concaving
Rounded face on it
Square toe
Picks up its weight
But the ping, like I’ve said before is very very good

It does look well used tho,

Both bats similar weight

No mate, and the width is down a bit too

Interesting bat mate. Top effort!

This shows how difficult it is to know by looking at pictures what weight, size a bat is and how sizes to me are almost irrelevant. If a bat pings, it pings. Whether its maxing out a gauge or not won't really make any difference to me.

Wow!!  Quite a departure from your usual shapes, but looks great.
Those XP80's were a radical shape, and your spine height isn't far from matching it.
Is that done to customer's specs, or just because you had a cleft that would allow it?

Nah it was just cos I love those shapes,,, I have a few oversized clefts, and now I have some free time it makes sense to chuck some handles in em an max out the specs

If you look at the edge stickers,(they look tiny) it gives an idea of size

I love the look of that one. Whoever ends up with it will surely get some comments as they walk out to the middle.

Random question - how do you find those long stickers on the back with a more extreme shape? I’ve got stickers of similar length, but I’m having an issue getting them to stick properly. Can’t work out if it’s due to the fact that I’ve not kept things straight/equal,  stickers aren’t ‘proper’ bat stickers or if it’s all down to the geometry!
