Hi All,

After my recent trip to the guys at Kippax, I promised I would be back for a bat. With pay day approaching I popped over an email to see what the guys could do, here's the shortened version of my wish list:-

2'8 gripped/stickered
Harrow length/Full Width
Wavex Handle
Good pickup

Plenty of other stuff but I popped over the email thursday, thinking I'd see them Saturday to discuss specs and maybe get the bat a few weeks later. Got a pleasant surprise on Friday when Chris emailed back to say he had the ideal bat and come on over. When I went over this is what I got:-









Apologies for the rubbish smartphone images. I was pretty pleased, seems very responsive and pickup feels great. Until I've knocked it in I can't comment on the wavex handle but I will update this review when I do. Had a chat with the two Chris's and they were showing me some absolute monster lammy's - 50mm edges on 2'15/3'6 bats. Great service, lovely bat.

I like the shape.

I think it's the new 2011 shape they were showing me a couple of weeks ago.

like the stickers and the gold grip, bat looks a good un- good luck with it- is it a long handle?

[uknsaunders]

yes long handle, harrow blade = SH

is this a laminate, the picture with the two pence on the egde suggests it is.

scuff sheet???

Could be i guess, but it would have to a wide one as usually mine dont go that far on the edge.

[yvk3103]

[uknsaunders]
