A couple of guys at my club have got them, and there both nice bats, seem to fly off them! But ive never used one, not sure about how long you need to knock it in for

I had one a few years ago, 2lb 11oz. Didn't last me one season. Not sure if they've improved or not, but to get that large a profile for that weight they need to seriously dry the willow, which decreases the life span of the bat

Haha, I didn't say that is used them.
There's not much wrong with my batting.

A mate has one. It's a hell of a bat, really soft wood and it flies! :) Great to use, having said that a chunk of the edge snapped off in it's first net, luckily it was repairable..
I'd say bide your time and be careful, especially watch for bat breakers. And make sure it has definitely been fully knocked in. Last thing you want is a nice new bat broken.
And btw welcome to the forum :)
