Title: What weight is McCullum bat
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 07:02:19 PM: Normal pro's well 80 per cent use a similar weight does anybody know the weight or think they know the weight of brendon mcallum's bats

I think we all have a idea of the maker but anybody know the weight

Strange but just a idea for me

Post by: Vantage_Cricket on March 17, 2013, 07:11:09 PM: I heard that he has the blade 1" shorter than a normal SH - which could aid the quickness of his hands.

Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 07:11:41 PM: I not going to speculate just wanted to know the weight speculation is wrong but the sticker on the back and the toe and shoulders look like a maker and it has been discussed many times

My blades are 1inch smaller so this could be a possibility

Post by: Uniquedan90 on March 17, 2013, 07:14:08 PM: Definitely a shorter blade, When they use stump cam you can see in comparison to him the bats a shorter one.

That sh on the handle reminds me of that Kohli bat Dave

Post by: Blazer on March 17, 2013, 08:44:47 PM: I agree McCullum's bat does stand out from rest of the NZ team. I still have no idea who makes it for , I am hoping it's one of the sponsors based there.
My guess is 2.9 - 2.10. A closer view

Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 17, 2013, 08:45:08 PM: He gets his bats made by two guys as far as I know. Two springs for a stiff handle and the blade is a little shorter. He picks them on feel rather than a definitive weight as well. There's a few the same, he's more bothered about the handle shape and 'whip' than what the bats look like etc. Theres loads of bats in robs workshop for big pros who mention the handle before anything else.
