Nice stuff, if you want another vintage covering, try leather. I have some of those. I think Al Papp, a US west coast hard batter, has at least one. One source isTandy Leather.

What do cork bats play like?

My whole set-up costs less than a sheet of Butterfly Dignics

That is sort of dependent on the age and type of cork. They can be a bit grippy or more like playing with wood in terms of lack of friction. They tend to have more control blocking than wood or sandpaper.

I have a commercially produced blade with cork on one side and sandpaper on the other. I guess it was one early attempt at having one "spinny side and one for control." Finger spin serves off the sandpaper can be very difficult to return.

I think it is great fun to play with a cork bat. I like them better than hard rubber or sandpaper.

is the outer ply basswood?

that is a high level ox players DREAM!

i may have to indulge.....

I already sent an email to inquire, looks great as well. Always nice to see a new kid on the block. I wonder i can use the cork or sandpaper at our club.LOL if you get one please post results

New blade set-up... Nittaku Monophonic with Dawie 388d-1 ox and Big slam max ( really like this one) down to FH rubber selections--I like it better than talon
flaired handle and 90 grams
