Got this atm as I am knocking it in for a friend. It is a long handle and my guess is it weighs 2.9. First thing that strikes me are the new stickers, they're very nice imo and are a good quality. When I pick the bat up it feels very well balanced and has a surprisingly good pick up for a LH, I'd have to put another grip on but it has a slightly oval handle - which is disappointing as I liked the old, massively oval handle Hunts did. The bat has a traditional-ish profile as the edges aren't huge (demonstrated by new '2 Euro on the edge') but the spine is fairly high and there is not much concaving and slight bow. The face has 11 (I think) predominately straight grains and a couple or blemishes on the face but nothing that affects performance which is ok, goes alright with a mallet but could be better. I've got some pictures which you can form your own opinion, I would use this bat as it is good vfm and feels nice. I don't know if I'd go out to buy one though.

My step brother came along to my new teams nets with me last night, used the new hunts i sold him. Went really well, mainly off my bowling though ;) Made a nice sound when it hit the middle too
