Hey everyone, since my last chat with Carl on a thread we drifted off and ended up hijacking, we discussed that thread's OP's Stiga Allround Evolution.
I thought about how to make it more offensive minded. Outside of making MYSELF more offensive minded, I decided to go in the only direction remaining...
Make it HEAVY !!!
and make it heavy I did.
I took a few steps, took my time, and it all took ONE HOUR to do.
1- I removed both rubbers and applied a thin coat of polyurethane wood sealer since I forgot last time.
2- I SLOWLY used an artist's putty knife to go down the top handle and remove it
3- I examined the result and YOU, Carl waz right, 100x moar hollow than a President's moral gas tank. Blade weighed 85 ish grams.
4 - I filled in all the hollow space with a thick bolt, a nut, and a ton of .2 gram nails in BOTH the hollowed blade and handle - no pics sorry
5 - Weighed each rubber 48 and 50 grams
6- I weighed the bat without grip tape - 117 grams - THAT is BETTER
7 - I put on grip tape and bumped up the weight of the blade to around 120 grams
8 - Put on rubbers and overall weight 218+ grams! Hard to see with the light but it topped out at 218+ Gs
EDIT, Pic on next post
I took a couple of swings and MAN this blade is suddenly SOLID! Gunna try it out today with the rec crowd.
