don't believe it!


Do most batmakers 'inherit' the skills from their forefathers? or would a podshaver look to hire a chippy as an apprentice? I'm intrigued

Cheers Tumo - 100% correct apart from the cleft was acquired from Dan at Vantage.
But andy kindly gave his assistance and use of the workshop...and it remained in one piece!
Andy owed me a favour and I would like to think that he didn't regret it too much!  :(
But it was great to try podshaving myself, and then see an absolute expert do it!

BAT 22 - SS Ganguly Ton

This is a lovely bat acquired from Talisman. I believe that he had half a dozen hand picked SS bats from India when he was over there. And I happen to have 2 of them. The first one I am listing in my inventory is around 2'13 but feels a little lighter.
It has 15/16 grains and feels quality.
The pick-up is confortable and it feels on par with most of my bats for responsiveness. I think the ping-o-meter reading would be high on this SS, and I will be keeping a couple of these SS bats in my collection for sure!
One thing I have to comment on is the quality improvements for SS bats over the past few years! The improvements in the Asian batmakers such as CA, MB, BAS and SF (and others) have been excellent with SS leading the way. There still seems to be a question mark over whether they tend to overdry their clefts to get the larger edges/sizes for the weight, but that aside, they are well finished and pressed.
All in all, a great quality bat for a very fair price!

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

Would be better if I could take better pics!
In the day time the camera focuses fine normally. But as soon as it starts getting dark, it doesn't focus so well!
