[@junaidmotara]

Loved it. What compound do you use to buff/polish?

[@timothymozar8471]

Awesome video, love watching the process and the way everyone has their own way of producing bats. Intrigued you print your own stickers. What sort of media do you use?

[@navinragoobar5323]

Hey can you tell me where I can purchase the white buffing pad you used after the final sanding

[@jackeverton9031]

Hi mate I’m looking to make a cricket bat and just wondering How you get the concave shape on the back of the bat and additionally what you use in the buffering process

[@gabbar1281]

What a wonderfully detailed video of how a bat is made. Just wish the toe was left thicker, and the spine down to the toe and a sightly more fuller profile on the back of the bat. Then there would have been no difference between this bat and what the international players use 😉

[@Coopercricket]

Thanks GabbaR, we are doing videos on all of our profiles. One of the next one's will be the MX which is a similar profile however we offsett the edge toward the toe so that the pick up is still nice and the middle is a mid middle however the toe has more substance because of this.

[@gabbar1281]

@@Coopercricket Nice. Looking forward to see what that looks like

[@khalnayak6180]

What is the width of bat sir . And pleas can you tell me the size of cutting mid section of blade for splice From where to where and how much to cut deep for handle

[@shaikhmuaviya3735]

6:03 tool name plz 😢?

[@ChristopherHallett]

Where do you get the handles from, how are they made, and why are they made the way they are?

[@Coopercricket]

Hi, we get our handles from our supplier in India and then turn them to the thickness we want in house. They are made from Sarawak cane and rubber and are laminated together with glue. They are made like this to reduce/takeaway the vibration through the hands when the batter strikes the ball. 🙂

[@yashjaiswara0004]

What is the Weight of your bat?

[@davidjohn510]

Absolutely rubbish. All work was done by CNC machine. What did you did by your hands. Rubbish absolutely rubbish. Hate machine work Which Is why started hating GM(GUNN & MOORE)

[@Coopercricket]

Wow, David...tell us how you really feel about it! You must hate that you drive a car built mainly by robots or eat food machines have helped prepare. All major cricket batmakers use automation in one way or another. We are based in Australia and are trying to make a go of it in an industry that, if I'm being honest, is very tough to break into. Material costs are high and hard to obtain, labour costs are high and commercial buildings, and overheads aren't free. We choose to automate as much as possible to create consistent products that performs out in the middle at a reasonable price for the consumer. We still do a lot of hand work to these bats, as you can see in the video, and we tailor the end product for that individual user, giving them a product that helps them improve as a cricketer. I can't see where any of that is a bad thing. We are just a small business trying to make a difference. I know you are entitled to voice your opinion, but I think it is incredibly ignorant. Regards Rod Grey Owner of Cooper Cricket

[@davidjohn510]

@@Coopercricket point is I'm using GUNN AND MOORE bats and to be really very very Frank and honest I hate it. No feel of bat in hands, no weight. It's like I'm using some kind of machine stuff. And I got another bat from UST & GREY NICOLLS purely hand made very thick bat from all around, no concaving at all what so ever from wood. Absolutely convex profile. Those 2 bats feels me like I'm holding something to get through the ball towards the line.

[@Coopercricket]

@@davidjohn510 I understand you have a dislike for GM bats but please don't think one is the same as the other. Our process is very different from bulk-made cricket bats. 90% of the time we are making for the player when they order it matching the cleft and the profile with the technique of the player.
