Thanks @Jimbo. How's your one from the lot above? 😆 Yeah they can't all be this big at these weights, that's the issue. But then if I put up one with 32mm edges on here it would get even less traction! 😂

I'd say massive, responsive and well balanced but then people will start thinking I'm on the payroll 😅

Normally posts have to be polarising/controversial or cause furore for it to attract discussion. Sadly means discussion around customs tend to be a little limited, but new releases, unacceptable bat dimensions and willow prices get all the discussion. 😅


I suggest the launch of a new model, with say...blue or orange stickers. :D

I think TCIAR and IMOT are suitable model names.

A few shaped up this week....

The top one is for a local player who wanted a 'hitters bat' at 2lbs 12oz with a thick toe, for reasons he couldn't explain 😆. It seemed to be that he thought it would ping more from the tow I think. I've obliged anyway as it's around 28mm in the centre.

Bottom one is the first of two which could be on their way to the T10 league in Abu Dhabi. Just under 2lbs 10oz and a copy of a preferred shape.

Any comments, thoughts etc are always welcome. Good or bad, as these posts from us smaller makers often don't get that much interaction. Which is a shame.











These look straight out of the top drawer. I also admire how organised and tidy the workshop appears to be- hopefully it’s not a last minute job just for the cameras! I like the classic look. Any plans for new stickers for 2025, something crazy to attract gen z or whatever that bunch are?

Nice work as always mate and good to see your still busy. Hard to tell these days as generally so little interest or interaction with makers or retailers. Love the G3 shape and looks a gorgeous cleft.

Thanks mate, appreciated. The wall where I take the pics is the tool wall, so always tidy. The rest of the workshop, not so much? 😆 No plans for new stickers as yet. There's just too many colours to please everyone (just ask @Jimbo and @Kulli)

These look $H!+ - you can do better. (Controversial enough take?) ;)

Jokes aside, lovely bats leaving the workshop as always. I like how the styling of your shapes has developed over the years, for my eyes, they tend to flow beautifully. The way they hold that that apex nicely before swooping slightly into the shoulders and more aggressively into the duckbill gives it a sleek and elegant look without losing the attractiveness of volume in the middle. I must have picked up close to 60 or so of them now, and all have picked up beautifully. :)  That 83cm one is wasted though...  :D

😂 You all over that @Chad. Controversial just for likes!

Thanks for the kind works on the pick ups. You've certainly held enough bats for that to be meaningful, so I'm happy with that! Not sure I'd say that G3 is wasted, but I was kinda hoping it was gonna be rejected by @Jimbo 😆 if I'm honest

Part two of the bats flying out to the T10 in Abu Dhabi tomorrow. Just a shame they won't have my stickers on! 😆

Bang on 2lbs 10oz, lovely bat

@jonny77 shapes make me crisp up the front of my Y-fronts.

A few bats made up today, so thought I'd post during a quiet period on here....

First one was made for a customer who wanted a mid middle,, 2lbs 10oz. Grade 2, full shape and lots of wood in it...



Second up, is a beast of bat weighing 3lbs 1oz and available to buy of anyone can handle that weight. Just goes through the gauge but is absolutely full with a huge toe too. Could do some serious damage this one! Grade 1, but selling cheaper than a Grade 2 usually goes for due to the weight. It's a looker too!

I could get more weight out of it, but seems a shame to take any out....







Last one is again for a customer who just specified a 2lbs 11/12oz bat, in a similar shape to my stock JS175 but a marginally higher middle. Grade 2.
