Come on now Daniel of Dorsetshire, stop teasing and get some proper pictures up (face, concaving etc.) so we can get frothy over it!

This one is labelled as 2.11 and pickup index 3, exactly as requested. My scales are broken so I can't verify but it is exactly the feel I had in mind. This was obviously my big worry but it is spot on.

I saw it mentioned that last year's Stokes PE had quite a thin handle but this one is nigh on identical to my Chrome from last season (I've already had the calipers out!)

The handle is very forward set too which I absolutely love and there's a touch more bow than a standard GM

The Stokes bat is a great full shape. The Phase 1 bat we had in did have a rounder thinner bottom hand

Just wow...how is handle - thick/thin and proper oval/semi oval? And weight?

Some pics of my new GM collection. Definitely jumped on the bandwagon but they are such good value.
Both Noirs are 2lb 9oz exactly (heartwood on left hander's outside edge).
Diamond is from Sixsixes cricket and is 2lb 8oz. Pick-up is feather light, so much so that I might get another one a bit heavier as well!
All cost less than �115 each and feel amazing in the hands. Just great value bats and would recommend them to anyone. Great finishing and tap up nicely (although yet to use in the nets)

Thick handle. Very very slight oval top hand which gets thicker again towards the top. The standard GM doesn't flare out at the top like this but it's the same as my B3 and love it like that. "Rounded" oval shape at the bottom- same as my Chrome.

The forward set of the handle is pretty huge compared to a normal GM and more than my B3 Finch, although that doesn't really come out in pics

A lovely lovely bat

Let me have my quiet moment first!

It's got a lot in common with my Finch but thinner toe and more duckbilled toe. A little less spine up in to the handle but thicker shoulders. Lovely shape and full as a full thing. Pretty much fills up them thar new gauges. I can stop looking at other bats finally!

Combines all the elements of my two favourite bats with no apparent downsides so very happy

Hi mate - full length blade I assume?

Picked up a Mythos Signature in store yesterday. Felt incredible in the hands, beautiful pick up and really superb value. Got them to put it aside for me and am back there lariat in the week. They must be making a killing with their new range, very very impressive. Each of their range I picked up felt good and were finished well. Mythos just the winner ahead of the Diamond.

Likely to be Hampset if I have time free from work to play. Definitely have a hunger for playing this summer which I didn�t last time around

Did you play for them this year? If so we probably played each other

Yoiks! This thread has been derailed! Back on topic please. You chaps can always start a new thread under Your Cricket.

My bats from the factory

The Noir is 2lb 10oz , I've not gotten around to weighing the Mythos buts its got an awesome pickup!

PS the luminous green bat, my daughter wanted to share (I think it was custom top grade made from exclusive pro willow only reserved for International batsmen with an avge over 50) a joint effort by TK and kranzbuhler bat, they ran of sharpies

)
