Cozzie isnt overly fussy at all - as long as its around 2-8 to 2-9 or sometimes a little heavier for T20.  Hes started liking loads of heartwood at the moment - some nearly all red.

Brownie likes them lighter around 2-7, very thin handle and as big as poss.  Hes doing a bit of experementing for this season, so im taking 4/5 tweeks of shapes for him to have a net with towards the middle of Jan.

Generally, most of the pros i've delt with, both sponsored and paying customers, like them around 2-8 to 2-9 and generally are not much more fussy than that.  They have normally seen one of my previous bats, like it, so go with the same as that.

Sorry for being rude but who is brownie - and when you say thin handle does he put alot of grips on then??

Mainly pressing and keeping a close eye on the pick-up and balance of the bat throught out the bat making process. Bot to mention getting these bats made from their best bat maker. Think the handles were a bit different as well.

What was different about the pressing? I know with a lot of asian bats pressing they can be very hit and miss, and often on asian bats the toe is very weak...
I guess they wont be their 'run of the mill' bats.

ah right, so still made in the same way - just more attention to detail.  I thought you ment they were made complete differently.

Yea sorry, Michael Brown - Surrey

Nah, just leaves them thin. It helps him manoeuvre the ball around.

So do we know who actually makes Adidas bats? If I walked into a shop and picked up a Pellara Elite, who do you think makes it? I imagine India?

[Perkins17]

i think there bats  are made by sg in india
