Post by: stevie on February 08, 2009, 03:55:12 PM: You would have to be big to use that!

Post by: yvk3103 on February 08, 2009, 06:29:10 PM: probably serves dual perpose - use as a bat in the match and as a eye-in bat in the nets ;)

Post by: dan_griffin11 on February 11, 2009, 01:50:56 AM: what is the point in all these massive bats? they weigh loads too, i could understand if it was a 2.9 that had 50mm edges, but this weighs 3.6, pointless

I couldn't

Post by: hit4six on February 11, 2009, 10:12:03 AM: I really dont see why people think this is bad. Some people like huge/heavy bats, and this bat is an excellent piece of willow. With 50mm edges, and it being 1 piece of willow. Even if you dont like this sort of bat, i dont understand how you could say its bad.... its amazing that you can make a cricket bat with these specs!!
Title: Re: 666 big boy!!!!
Post by: hell4leather cricket on February 11, 2009, 04:12:21 PM: the bat was made as a show bat,not to any specs .was just playing around with some willow and this is what i come up with,picks up quite well for the weight.... it is not for sale at the moment

Post by: Beachcricket on March 10, 2009, 05:35:46 PM: Heavy bats are a double edged sword, the extra power is seductive but you have to accept a double hernia is a possibility.

If it goes on sale, I would be interested!

Post by: Johnny on March 10, 2009, 07:42:22 PM: Matt, the willow looks really nice - tight grain and heartwood on the outside edge (for me anyway) - if you took weight off to nearer 2.10 could you still have a bat with a really decent size profile?
Title: Re: 666 big boy!!!!
Post by: hell4leather cricket on March 10, 2009, 08:13:22 PM: i would of thought you could still get a decent size taking weight off ,not sure if it would have 50mm edges
Title: Re: 666 big boy!!!!
