Doesn't look too dissimilar to the shapes our own @Northern monkey has been making

Is the handle really thick as last year? I don't really like the handle on the Vince, it's an usual shape. I was told all the player editions this year have the same handle. Is that true?

I didn’t measure this handle, it felt like a normal thick gm handle. And as far as I am aware, the handles should be the same as the player requests. The Ben Stokes player Edition was smaller, I measured that one

@Six Sixes Cricket does this years fit through the gauge?
Yes, it will fit through, they all do this year. Stokes is probably the nearest to the limits

What is the handle on the Vince like? I find the QDK nice with a GM grip which is thicker at the bottom but a bit weird with a normal grip (top hand too chunky, bottom hand a bit thin)

Its a thin, almost round handle. Slightly 'wider' at the bottom hand, but not a conventional semi-oval. Sorry I think I am unable to explain properly.

That makes sense @Ajdal . Bit strange though as I've only ever since Vince's bats with a pretty large oval bottom hand like this: https://goo.gl/images/F5cZEe

Pictures can be deceiving, the handle on the vince bat i recently got doesn't have the usual GM handle. To be honest can't even call it a semi-oval

That’s not the handle on our player edition Vince bats, nonetheless I think it feels great

Cleft density and size??
I am sure low density/big size clefts would be found with irregular grains/stains too...maybe GM could use those to make a special grade available at lower cost?
