Hi there could you replicate the chase FLC bat in short handle and could the weight of the bat be 2.5 as I’m moving from a Harrow to a short handle
Posted by Steve on 23/05/2019
Reply from Talent Cricket on 23/05/2019
Hi, the shape would be easy to replicate, but a weight of 2.5 would be very difficult. Realistically 2.7 would be the lightest for this shape.
Hi there what would the edge sizes be on a bat weighing 2.6 and a semi-concave profile
Posted by Liam on 22/05/2019
Reply from Talent Cricket on 22/05/2019
Hi, it would generally be around 32mm.

Hi there, would if be possible for you to print my name by means of laser printing, engraving or a small printed name sticker somewhere on the bat for identification purpose? It would be great if you could offer this service. Thanks.

Hi, 2.9 and above would be achievable for this weight. The shipping cost of 1 bat to Canada would be £20 via UPS couriers.
Hi Team, I would like to know is it possible to replicate 'Grey Nicolls Scoop XV1000' bat design in your Grade 1+ (special selection) willow. Please advise. Thank you. Best Regards, AJ

Hi, I'm afraid that we are unable to replicate this shape due to copyright on this design.
Can you make a bat with a weight of 2.5?

We tend to start at 2.6 but if you wanted a 2.5 we can do this for you.
Hi. I would like to know how big the edges would be on a 2.8 and 2.9 bat with full profile? Also do these bats feel lighter on pick up?
Posted by Nikhil on 22/03/2018
Reply from Talent Cricket on 22/03/2018
Hi, the edge size wouldn't be very big on this weight and profile, they would be around 30mm. The pick up would depend on where most of the weight is concentrated, so a lower sweet spot bat would have a heavier pick up to a higher sweet spot bat.
Hi Team, I would like to place an order for a custom made bat in your Grade 1+ (special selection willow) and I wanted ask you is it possible to replicate the same shape of 'Millichamp & Hall Heritage Hybrid bat' and how long it takes for the whole process (bat making, knocking in services, and the delivery to UAE) also let me know the shipping charges to UAE. Awaiting your response. Thank you Cheers, Ajoy

Reply from Talent Cricket on 08/01/2018
Hi, yes we can replicate most shapes of cricket bat and are familiar with this particular model. The whole process including delivery and knocking in would take approximately 2- 3 weeks. The shipping charge for1 bat to the UAE would be £28 via UPS couriers.
Can you make this bat 10+ grain, blade profile pronounced curve, weight 2.8lb, low-mid sweet spot, edge width 37mm - 40mm, spine - high, concave & tapered, 12 piece oval short handle insert mix of rubber and cork? Please let me know. So I can make my order soon. Also last question, what is this custom made SPECIAL SELECTION means? Thank you

Hi, yes, most requests can be accomodated. The Special Selection is a grade 1+ English Willow bat.
What type of concaving is the most modern and how does the concaving affect the sweet spot and pick up??
Posted by Daniel on 09/09/2017
Reply from Talent Cricket on 12/09/2017
The concaved, flat faced profile is the most modern. This doesn't affect pick up or performance.
Hi, do you apply stickers if I asked requested them and would pay the extra
Posted by James on 30/05/2017
Reply from Talent Cricket on 30/05/2017
Hi, all of our custom bats are blank, if you wanted stickers applying you would need to do this yourself.

2.10 would be a good minimum weight for this style of bat.
Do you make 40mm thick edged bats and are you bats oiled?

how big are the edges and spine for 2.7 bat that has full profile how big are the edges and spine for 2.7 bat that has concaved profile how big are the edges and spine for 2.7 bat that has semi concaved profile
Posted by Narasimha Lakamsani on 19/02/2017
Reply from Talent Cricket on 19/02/2017
Normally 32mm edges and 55mm spine on a full profile. Up to 38mm edges and 58mm spine on a concaved shape with a semi concave profile in between. Bats can generally be made to whatever spec you are looking for within reason.
how big are the edges and spine usually for a 2.7 special custom made bat

Reply from Talent Cricket on 19/02/2017
Hi, this depends on the shape.
£239.99 seems rather inexpensive for a grade 1 plus willow custom made bat, is there any reason for this?

Hi, no reason other than we source the willow direct and receive a competitive rate from the bat manufacturer.
what grade wood is this bat made from. also, what does it mean by special selection??

hi there, i was just wondering does the bat come with any stickers on it and what will they say. Also i am 1.65 m tall and use a harrow bat what weight should i get. thank you seb
Posted by Sebastian on 14/05/2016
Reply from Talent Cricket on 15/05/2016
Hi, all of our custom bats come plain without any stickers. We would recommend a lightweight bat if you are used to using a Harrow size, perhaps something around 2.6/2.7.
Could my handle be oval at the bottom and rounded at the top or does it have to be all the same?
Posted by Jacob pears on 07/05/2016
Reply from Talent Cricket on 09/05/2016
Hi, an oval handle is only oval at the bottom and not at the top.
Will you allow customers to visit you with an appointment to discuss bat profiles and get help to get a custom made bat?I have 2 favourites currently( both Indian and you don't sell them). I do understand willow availability will be an important factor. It will be a 300 mile round trip for me which will be worth it if we can look at both my current favourites and decide on what's the best for me.

Hi, I was just wondering if any further knocking in is required once the bat has arrived if I selected the knocked in option
Posted by Freddie on 05/05/2015
Reply from Talent Cricket on 05/05/2015
Hi, it should be fully knocked in but will still require some gentle playing in with an old ball before proper net/match use.
could you have the shoulders sloped away(like the dewberry tt) to increase the middle size?
Posted by James on 21/04/2015
Reply from Talent Cricket on 21/04/2015
Hi, yes this is possible.
Hi What Would be the next move then, would I order the bat online and then send you the picture of the profile I want or what would be the best way? Cheers

Hi, Yes the best way would be to order the bat online and then send the profile pic through the post or e mail to info@talentcricket.co.uk
Hi Would you be able to make a copy of a bat from a profile shot of the bat. As I haven't got the bat anymore to be sent in and copied or is that just not possible? Cheers
Posted by Michael on 16/03/2015
Reply from Talent Cricket on 16/03/2015
Hi, Yes that would give us a good idea of shape, would just require all of the your other specs such as weight, grain structure, handle shape etc.
Hi just wondering if you vary the profile of the back depending on specifications for eg if I orded a bat and I wanted one with a full spine without scalloping could that be oranged or are they factory made by machines.
