If you can get hold of a heavy bat guys its a great way of building up your batting muscles and shot power in nets - when you go back to your match bat it feels like air.

Ha, just come across this thanks to the bump by Josh.

I played for my school 1st XI against a Headmasters XI that contained a few ex pros, including him and Sherwin Campbell.

At one point he stepped across his stumps and played the ball behind his back with one hand using that club of a bat, hammered it for 4 through square leg. Eventually he was bowled on 99.

He let me have a little hit with it in the nets, I could barely lift it, but it was an absolute steam train when you middled one.

Sher Amin is Malik bat not CA. 36mm is nothing as 42mm is very common nowdays, i have a custom made from Pakistan having 46mm edges in single piece willow.

That post was from 2008, So you can imagine the bats back then were not the size that they are now.

I think the criteria should be one piece of wood, Lammies can make silly bats like the one Josh has. I doubt how much use a 7'10 bat is for training. I get the process behind netting with a heavier bat, I use a bat 3-5oz heavier in the nets, but looking at your net video the effort taken to lift the bats means you are off balance and not playing the shot correctly. It doesn't appear to be training muscle or technique correctly.

A bat that heavy is good for a laugh but not for playing with.

I'm pretty sure this H4L is the biggest single piece bat I have ever seen.
