Weight is only 2.6

That's a big 2.6 bat! Also looks better than some of the Players bats I have seen. :-[ I actually quite like the look of that profile. It didn't really catch my attention from the pictures on the Newbery site, but I think it must be the photography! 8) How's the concaving like on this bat Asad?

Yes, it does look like none... The shape makes me wonder if my bat is a Newbery shape hybrid...

Like a Tour at the shoulders, and a profile like this Krakatoa...

Don't...

Don't because you want it Tushar? ;) He wants to slip it in his bat sock! 8) Asad, if I had not bought that Ricochet off you for my brother, I would have bought him this instead! Does the ping compare well with the other Krakatoas? I would imagine that it wouldn't really be one for hitting sixes with as it is quite light, but the size of the profile suggests otherwise!

Very good Johnny!  :D
Seriously there were some very good bats! I have never been that impressed with 5-star bats but they tapped up so well! That 2'6 Krakatoa was very responsive and was a decent size for the weight. I didn't sell it! All I did was to suggest that he try it for the weight as he was a teenager who had grown out of smaller bats but he wasn't strong enough to comfortably use 2'8. It actually sold itself as it was a great bat!
