Nope, Norbs is banter account but is helpful as well in terms of Q&A. SAF is an advertiser account and is running this Q&A

But to answer you previous question....

Norbs made his bat from pressed clefts, I make my bats from start to finish... Pressing, handling and shaping each of them myself

Is Oscar the dog a particularly strong ale?

he's my black lab and chief sander, however he's turned to the dark side and not allowed in the workshop at the moment

Ah, so Oscar is Norbs.

And your bats are made by a dog. Unique selling point I'll admit.

Yes, that's it.

What's the best bat you've used (excluding your own)?  And which batmakers out there do you respect the most?

[Washington]

If you are not making a custom bat i.e just a stock bat how do you know its finished? Do you have a set of parameters to work to before you start on cleft e.g. 2.10lbs, low middle etc or is it an evolutionary process where you let the willow decide?

I don't make bats if I dont have to but normally on the majority of the clefts 2lb 10-12oz look the Oscar b*ll*cks
