Evening guys. Just thought I would share my BB net bat and offer a quick review.
Saw the bats listed and made enquires about this one. 2.8 full profile.
Service from Tai was excellent, and I received the bat within 2 days of making payment and exactly as described.
The bat is not the best looker but certainly not a minger either, 6 grains that are fairly straight and evenly spaced, the bat has a butterfly or water mark on the rear of the bat but doesn't come through to the face. Flat face with a square toe which is a little different. Nice oval handle that feels good with a single ripple grip.
The bat is balanced very well and the duck bill toe will certainly help that giving the bat a mid placed profile. It's also a large bat with 38mm edges and nice chunky shoulders and toe. Certainly gives confidence when I look down in my stance.
Now Iv only tapped up an old ball but this is a naughty little pinger. UK made and the pressing is top notch this will be a serious piece of willow once knocked in and and will be a great little bat for those damp days to save my Laver and other more expensive bats but I certainly won't sacrifice performance I don't feel.
And for less than £100.
The only shame is the stickers on the back now have the splice sticker inside a clear sticker, very minor I know but lived when then just covered the splice only but understand they lift a lot more than the new design. Also think the lime green is a sweet little touch.

Seeing all these naughty BBs is making me question why I didn't buy that 2lb9 one I had my eye on... :(
Great looking twig for the price Chris, hope it gets some use in the summer as it deserves some! (Then again, so does the rest of your collection...) :D
-
Why did I not get one?! This is what savings are for!!
-
That's lovely looking stick Chris

I like the green color scheme on the BB bat batter than the blue design ...
Nice stick mate ...
-
an absolute bargain for a net bat. stickers are lovely.
-
Wow...very good looking bat and I am sure performance is great.
-
Looks really nice. Minimal stickers are always nice
-
Nice bat there. Hard to imagine it is for the price you paid..really looks worth much more.

Just a little update on this, netted with it for 2 hours today cricket balls not bola balls.
I love this bat, no doubt this could be a match bat. This just pings so well and the pick up is amazing this maybe my favourite profile ever just for me seems to feel so good. If @Blank Bats run a net bat offer again I would be all over it.
-
Glad the bat's coming to life Chris.
-
@Blank Bats , this is a great net bat. Can you make me one in same shape but 2-13, oval (thin) handle and higher middle? Can you put a bow in the bat as well?
-
You like a bow dont you IT.
So do I, but a gentle bow as opposed to an Asian type aggressive bow.
-
^ @Blank Bats , ok it is a net bat, I can live with your biggest bow albeit gentle. How about weight, handle, and high middle? Are those specs doable?
-
@Blank Bats - any plans to offer this model in grade 1 ?

Not as yet, but will be getting a new batch in at some point, please note price will increase to 125 posted. Which, for what they are, I believe is still good value.
Cheers

No probs. Possibly next 3/4 weeks.
Thanks
-
A price increase? In fact, quite a large one.
Is this in response to limited supply or market demand?
-
Both
