So I was bored at work the other day and decided to see what was available in some end of season sale, came across Millet sports and a Powerbow Extreme for £64.99 in medium weight. I thought these were 3lb plus but after speaking to millers they said they had one at 2.10 so I decided to take a punt.
OMG this thing is huge 47mm edges and 67mm edge give or take a mm or two. There is some graphing on the blade but not a bad looking stick, lovely thick oval handle as well, tapping a ball up on this is just amazing left 2 little marks in my ceiling it pings that well, pick up is ok but does feel a tad bottom heavy, but here are some pics of the biggest bat I have ever owned and possibly seen below 3lb in weight

Have you weighed it yet? If it is really 2.10, then you've gotten yourself a bargain mate! How big is the collection now? Mine seems to keep growing back after I whittle it down... :(

Yea weighed it at my mums as I have no scales and weights 2.10.6 on digital scales, even she seemed impressed lol.

Hahaha well if 2.10 is a little heavy for you, do let me know. ;)

2.10 is perfect and if it is there is enough would to get this down and oz or two and still have 40mm edges and 60 mm spine lol.

Bloody hell mate top draw that for the pennies. I might see if there's any left in a similar weight tomorrow

I spoke to two people when I wanted to check weight and the first was as useful as a choc tea pot trying to remember the guys name who I spike to, he was there cricket expert apparently, maybe I got lucky but i believe medium weight is usually 2.10 to 2.12 so if you use that weight range can't really go wrong for £70 plus £5 postage.

I picked up a medium weight Powerbow 4* in medium. It's 2lb 9oz. Medium is pretty light...
-
That is certainly extreme for the weight. No more on sale at millets tho!

Lovely bro! Top bargain!! Lovely little blemish on it also

Amazingly huge !. Looks atleast 3-4 oz more than stated weight.

Question Soulman... Why £5 postage when millets delivery is free over £50???

I thought the invoice said £5 postage cost although I could be wrong though.
