Picked this up from Getpaddedup in their sale.
Now it may not be the prettiest bat in the wood but over the last year i found i kept coming back to the website and looking at it, eventually they had their sale and i thought what the heck. Price was reduced from £99 to £59.
It's 2lb 11oz and i was pretty surprised how it felt in the hands. I currently have 7 ( I know i know my name is Pete and I'm a Bataholic) other bats and this one feels the best in the hand, not by a long way but none the less it feels the best. 2 of these other 7 are also 2lb 11oz but this one has the lightest pickup of the 3. Now I'm not expecting miracles from this bat but so far things are looking promising. I have oiled and started to knock in and was surprised at the response from the mallet.Its not big on grains but then maybe this is a slow burner. Have i found a little gem ? who knows only time will tell but i am pleased with my less than pretty purchase.

I assume you bought that blind? You didn't see a picture of the face before you got it?
