I know couldn't believe it myself when i got it and weighed it but its true 2lb 9, as for the concaving its got a real nice looking bow to it and since i've only used it in the nets i get some very very envious looks when they see and hear it go bang

I'm quite envious myself! Still confused as to how it's so big at the weight.

Wouldn't say it was like the Tempo really but definitely a very imposing bat for the weight!

Sadly no I think Gayles is around 3lb 5oz or in Layman's terms an absolute monster.

In the ipl when he had a mic on i think he said the one he was using there was 3.2 ish. David warner couldnt even use it. In the bangladesh wi series the commentator said it weighed in at just about 3lb.

On twitter he said his bat was 2lb14 so between that and 3lb2

I really like the look of the willow.

There is ALOT going on there with the stickers though, bit much I think.

The stickers are of a good quality and again its down to taste i wanted a bat that was different after having a Kahuna and so thought why not try a brand new brand and a outside the box bat as i can assure you i think i will intimidate a few bowlers with the Spartan

Maybe he likes to switch it up?  Or pegaps he overstates the weight to intimidate bowlers.
