Very nice mate!!! Used one in nets but think I need a bit more practice to get my grip correct to use it effectively

excuse my ignorance....but how are you meant to hold one of these specialist 20/20 bats? Hands up the very top of the handle, hands to the middle?? Would be good to try one though.

You hold it where you would hold a normal bat which works out about half way up the handle

The best way is to hold the Joker the same distance from the top of the handle as you would a normal bat.  If you hold a normal bat right at the top like gilchrist, you would hold the Joker at the top; if you hold the bat at the bottom of a normal handle, like morgan, which may be 2 inches from the top, you'd hold a Joker 2 inches from the top.

I hold my t20 bat at the top of the handle, just like every other bat. It just had more room for my hands should I need it!
