I actually prefer the new shape, I�m going to thicken the handle a little and will be definitely getting kept

Cost was �50 for the work which has made it a very expensive bat!

I was surprised GM didn�t put a new toe guard on and the finish isn�t as good as it was originally, that could be me being fussy

Turn around was fantastic, received bat back within 3 days once Kev was back in workshop

In my head it looks slightly more duckbilled but I could be wrong

Looks good and very usable now, spending �50 more or selling at �100 loss, a bat that feel and know is very high quality is difficult to get, so I would day you've taken right decision, I'm sure you're going to use it soon, can't leave it alone for longer time 😀

Done same weight loss of only 1 oz, toe area, but it's feel is better and it's the one I wouldn't be getting hand on another as it's one of it's kind 😀

All set for the 2020 season!

A bit of a latecomer to this thread, but my word, these Stokes bats are spectacularly good.

I never knock bats in... no patience for it! Next season I�ll be playing Saturday and Sunday, Wednesday evening 20/20, 1 midweek match, and nets on Tuesday and Thursday evenings, so they all should get used. I really regret buying all the other bats I have now, as even if I manage to get rid of them all, it will be for a fairly hefty loss.

Funnily enough, the better half is fine with me having 8 identical bats. It�s the other 12 random bats I have hidden in the garage that she found a few weeks back that she has the real problem with.

I sense a very decent for sale thread Coming if this is your standard of bat

Maybe!

On the plus side, at least you know that if Ciaran! buys then flips them he won�t have put a higher grade sticker on it than it actually is...

One bat would get through that fine (sorry for the heresy) I love the worry about losing money selling others, having bought 8 �500-600 bats

Wash your mouth out. One bat is madness.

@SouthpawMark you are my hero. Next time the Mrs complains, I will just pull up this thread.
