Cheers chap.
The curved profile make the edges look bigger than they are on this malik, but they are still over 30mm and high spine height with lots of meat in the blade. Another powerhouse of a Bubber Sher with a relatively light weight!
Anyway, another bat to follow sometime today!

Pete do you have a newbery with a c6+ handle?

If so would you care to do that?

What criteria do you select your bats on as there are a broad range of weights and shapes shown so far?

I used to have two - a Mjolnir and Uzi, but both gone now!
Have a few other Newberys I'll post pics of at a later time though!

Boredom.....need an interest to fill a void in my empty life....and is better than filling the void with custard creams, jammy dodgers and wagon wheels!
Seriously, no particular criteria! If I like the look of it, I buy it.
It's allowed me to find out what bats I am suited to, so a good thing! And it's allowing me to try more bats than I could ever dream about!

He's not on great form. But when he is, he is still a brilliant all-rounder. Although he has to lose the beard!

BAT 35 - CA Grade 2 (Stickered as Grizzly)

This is a grade 2 CA - 6 grains and 2'13 in weight.
Nice profile and what it lacks in grains, it would make up for in power!
I know it's not multi-grained beauty, but it feels a very decent quality stick, and the Grizzly stickers are very nice!

This may well be one I use as a pure net bat, or in damp weather! But it may well turn out to be good enough to use in matches...time will tell!

Pics to follow.........................
