Lovely size 5 finished off for a good friends kid.

Great size and comes in fully finished at 2lbs 5oz but with the high middle it picks up really light.

Couple of weight reductions for a very popular brand that are going from strength to strength. These were 2.12.5 and are now 2.7.

Customer has a disability so wanted them as light as possible.








Customer wanted a rebalance as well, so have made them both the same weight and as similar shape as the original allowed. Tried out a few new finishing techniques too, and they seem to have worked well.

Had this in for a weight reduction today, 2.15 (near enough) down to 2.8.75. Proud of the finish and shape on this one too given how much wood it’s lost. If anyone needs a refurb, a weight reduction or a rehandle, drop me a message!





Here’s the finished article:

This one is off to a forum member - he purchased the bat through the reaper eBay, and asked me to remove 25mm from the toe and round off the corners to match his current bat - weighs in at 2.8.9 and is enormous. Lovely stick.

Have to say @LEACHY48 has done a belter of a job with this bat. Took a bit of a punt as I've never really seen any reviews of Reaper bats but at well under £100 for a bat with the specs it has I couldn't convince myself not to.

Picks up very nicely, shape is lovely and full and after an hour and a bit of knocking in it's starting to respond very encouragingly. Definitely a few more bargains to be had in the Reaper eBay if this bat is anything to go by!

Thank you mate! Much appreciated! Enjoy the stick, it’s a belter, hope it brings you loads of runs.

I really enjoy the threads from the 4 or so guys making their own bats at the moment
I love the way that their styles have developed & are so diverse in shapes & trademark features.
Well done all.
Keeps bringing me back for a good nosey around (but I have to hide the wallet before I log on!!!)
