@jonny77 - lovely bats. Last 2 bats are spot on.

Thanks @bigblue365 Appreciate the feedback mate! 🙏

Long blade custom on the go, Grade 1 and requested 2lbs 13oz. Needs refining and then sanding, so will finish bang on.

Thoughts as always appreciated!

Big fan of the weight left up high, imagine the balance is lovely.

Thanks mate. Constantly check the pick up as I go to ensure it feels nice and balanced. I try to get a high spine all the way up and plenty in the shoulders/up top as you say. Love this shape personally.

Lovely shape pal! Like what you�ve said about keeping some weight up in the shoulders. I always prefer the look of a bat that keeps a consistent gradient of the spine into the handle/splice area rather than flattening out.

How are your plans for 2021 softs getting on with everything that�s going on at the moment?

Keep up the great work 👍

It's something I think a lot of other batmakers, including some big names like Keeley, don't do so well sometimes. I had a Kippax a while ago that felt hugely bottom heavy despite having the thickest shoulders I'd ever seen on a bat.

Thanks mate, appreciated. I'll obviously make to whatever the customer wants, but if asked will always try to make sure they think about the balance rather than just dead weight. Lots of people ask for 40mm edge and 67mm spine, but without thinking of the rest.

Softs are underway and should be here within weeks all being well. Process has been lengthy, as I've constantly been tweaking things in the design.

Finished this one, love the shape as think it gives good coverage and a lively pick up. This ones 2lbs 10.3oz, Grade 1 with lovely straight grains running straight through the toe and back. Personally I quite like a wider grain, so right up my street this one!

This one is stunning, and so are the rest of them! Stickers look as good as the willow does.

Thanks mate, really appreciate that 👍

A long blade finished up today. Big bat which only just fits through the gauge with minimal concaving at 2lbs 13oz. Was requested between 2lbs 12oz and 2lbs 14oz, so right in the sweet spot!

Been working on a few new developments recently, which are almost there now. So hopefully get to reveal them soon!

That is stunning, a simply beautiful shape.

Thanks mate. It's a big boy, but then so is the bloke it's been made for! 😆 Picks up great tho for the weight imo.

Very nice again mate! Looks like plenty of scope for user error in finding the sweetspot!

Thanks mate. Yeah it's got plenty of coverage and so should be a beast! Trying to ensure all bats I make have good volume through the hitting area, rather than peaking sharply. Even if just visual it seems to work for me
