Introducing... Frankenbat!

[jekyll&hyde]

Hey guys, it's been quite a while since I last posted, thought I'd show y'all something interesting.
Last year, I found a seller online who makes custom rackets, so I thought why not get one for myself? $80 and a few weeks later... Frankenbat has arrived.
I decided to go with a crazy unique composition because... why not? Thus giving birth to the name Frankenbat, The blade is as following:
(FH) Hinoki-Spruce-ALC-Kiri-Ayous-SZLC-Limba (BH)
Here are some pictures where you can see the different layers stacked:

As for the rubber setup, I currently have LOKI Rxton IX on the forehand and DHS GoldArc 9 on the backhand.
Playing characteristics wise, it is as you expect. The forehand is safe and controlled in the short game, with enough power for looping and driving. The backhand is fast and direct, with blistering speed and a long flat arc.
Honestly I am really satisfied with my purchase, with my only qualms being that the handle wings are a tad longer and sharper than usual(?) So when I play for an extended period of time it starts to dig into my palm and begins to hurt a little. Of course this is a minor gripe as it can easily be sanded down to my preference.

Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

Hey! Congratulations on your purchase!
As for the sharp edges on your blade, this is very easy to fix yourself. Take a piece of sandpaper (grit 180 or higher) and a small tube or some other round object with a diameter of 25–30 mm. Use this to sand down the sharp edges—it’s quick and a neat.

Like the price. Don't like the uneven lines (grain) density of the "hinoki" layer.
