pete

your right it does look better in your pictures such defined grains even too....

glad you like it

your right about the work on the bat and the finish as per usual is top class...

the scuff sheet is also the first to be sold by chase in that design....

I know Dave, some of the best grains I've seen! And considering this bat was picked for it's performance, then it'll be an interesting winter net! 
Cheers for your comments guys.

Sorry Pete, i just can't see how that bat is 2lb 10oz, it is massive for that weight! Scales must be broken 

Probably my fave. out of the collection so far!

[AlRidd]

Pete, its official. I Hate You. Well not really but I swear every bat I want or am about to buy you snap up first!!!

Lovely bat! I agree with Richard the bat is massive for its weight.

My day has been ruined by such lovely bats.

[petehosk]

I know what you mean Richard! Normally long handle and blade bats are smaller in profile due to the extra length of blade.
But this is still huge and I weighed the bat twice on my digital scales to double check! 
Mind you, I know this bat looks stunning with the ruler-straight grains, but it will still need to perform seriously well to get into my match kitbag! The bats in there currently are:
- Black Cat Shadow
- Talisman Perfect Storm
- Laver & Wood Firefly Carbo
- Redback Allegiance Hybrid
All 4 above bats have exceptional performance and have set the standard sky high! To put this into perspective, my Screaming Cat Professional hasn't made it in there yet!!
Therefore this Chase bat will have to be on the same performance level as these bats. But I'm actually confident it will be! 

[procricket]

well pete i going to sound confident here i suspect the bat will quite easily get into the bag..

is the profile ok for you mate

Sorry Al! 
Dave and I have traded lots with each other so he did offer it to me before starting the topic. So the only way it would have been offered out is I had of rejected it. And looking at the bat, I would have to be crazy to reject a stunning bat like that!!
And to be honest, if the bat had of been a SH size, none of us would have got a look in, as Dave would have kept it himself!

And yes thanks Dave - profile is excellent! Graeme Hick and myself were obviously seperated at birth!

Dave you should of just cut an Inch off the handle it wouldn't of made a huge difference to pickup either but I guess it is to late to say that now 

[procricket]

norbs sometimes as you will know a bat comes along and it is thant good you do not want to change it...

i have a few special ones from dan so why not let somebody else have it....

bargain at 100 sheets and there will be no more like that from dan at that price possible ever...

the blade mate is 2in longer just do not like it..(although i never have seen it in person)

Pete your slacking...

[petehosk]

Sorry - have been busy.
But as I have pics of my M&H Harlequin, I think I may do that!
Will post in the next half hour chaps!

Love the look of that Chase bat... how would you compare it to the black cat?
