The Nixon has a very Millichamp looking toe! Looks a bit like a more traditional looking Solution to me.

The blank looks very nice. Did you pick it up from Steve?

I was shocked at the edges on the 2lb6oz bat, then I saw the concaving and was much less surprised. Very L&W shaped. The concaving comes close to that Rob Pack prototype "Bat Wing" that someone had made.

You've only just got it mate what's the weight of the Nixon

You do love your scalloping but it's got heartwood so will be sold soon then ;)

one was sourced from Rich Watson the Nixon mate feels nice off a mallet.

The unbranded one i going to just say it is a bat there no story to tell it taps up nicely and is bloody light and a carbon copy of my Laver

Yes i did mate if it the same Steve i was very Very dubious mate but for 100 pound you can not go far wrong and as i said it taps up well and the pick up is simply smashing and like Tim said a carbon copy of my Laver PB

Arron this will be coming on the road trip mate

I was like a kid in a sweet shop in his garage. Over 400 bats. Where do you start?! I picked up a 2 lb 11 with very similar shape to yours. I was dubious too but would recommend the trip to anyone. Very genuine and honest chap

Looks nice Dave. The Wisden bat was delivered back today so let me me know what you want to do. If you are dropping in my way then great or I could meet you and Aaron somewhere ?
