Chase Bat the batmakers own bat
« on: August 20, 2010, 10:47:32 AM »
Well after moving up the weights to around 2lb 9-10 i was left batless...

I made enquires on here and got offered many good bats for good prices but i called in a favour and got this....
I'am not going to tell you it was made for him him and him it simple it the batmakers bat his own bat used by him so surely can not be a bad one...

Well when it came it has a few marks on it but hey i can tell you in terms of looks of the bat and shape and balance and performance is without doubt the best bat i have had in my hands...

It a mixture of shapes a little like a gt but with a bigger toe picks up well and is everything i wanted in a bat..

spec

2lb 9oz
15 grains
super light pick up

pictures to follow

but i'am one happy bunny today

What is the Clover on the back of some Chase bats? Is it like the Castrol sticker on Gilchrist's bat, just sponsorship?

Looks a lush bat, and to be honest if you were a bat maker you would so keep the very best bit of willow for yourself!!

yes it has mate not massive one though the profile makes it look more bowed than it actualy is with the gentle bow in the back opf the blade..


This is truely a custom shape from Dan as it made to his spec like i said it a mixture of orca and a little gt...

The bow in the original finback is much bigger than this but the orca is a traditional English shaped bat

well after a little net i can confirm it a belter middle is simply massive and it pick up similar to my 2lb 6oz bat but with much more power..

the profile is a delight you just feel like it moulds and groves if you get what io mean when you drive the ball..

A outstanding bat picked by the maker for it performance and looks..

top quality

If you advertise one more chase you'll end up have to pay advertisers fees  :o

Is this as good as the "GH" bat?
