Title: My New Oblivion (custom made)
Post by: yvk3103 on March 14, 2011, 09:08:41 PM
I had ordered a Oblivion through one of my friend who is also a cricket retailer.

The specifications I had given were:

Weight: 2lb9oz with a light pick-up
Edges: 35mm or more
Grains: not really bothered (very unlike me) but at least 8-9

Wanted performance like on a LE or Players bats (as there is not much diff between these in terms of performance) and not wanting to spend more than £180.

What I got:

Oblivion in 5* for £150
Weight: 2lb8oz
Edges: 40mm
Grains: 9 and fairly straight
Pick-up is very good

Very happy with the mallet test and for new bat it taps-up really very well and not very far in ping than my BC Shadow.

Here are the pics:

Dave, just pulling your leg mate.

Honestly, I should use this for a few games and all the T20's
