My new custom Newbery Krakatoa
« on: February 27, 2010, 03:55:30 PM »
It appears that I'm turning into a bat whore, not to the degree of someone I can think of on the forum but 2 new bats in the space of 3 weeks is a first [and probably a last] for me.

Anyway.....I briefed Mike as to my requirements....Krakatoa profile....9-11 straight grains with no heartwood...2.10-2.11 and here is what he found me......[Exactly to requirements!....actually beyond all expectations.]





This last one gives scale to how big the edges are against my Thruxton SPS [34mm]



Muchos Gracias Podfather.

2'10? Looks like 3'10! Mike does find some very good willow I have to admit, bet you're very pleased Harry! How big are those edges? The willow looks very clean and classy, should get some big runs...

I'm moderately pleased.......I tell a porkie.....very chuffed with the bat...Edges are 40mm and even after knocking in it feels like a bat shaped trampoline. As far as big runs go I have to locate the little red leather thing with it first!
