Title: T20 Style X1 Red Ink
Post by: Jenko on January 23, 2016, 06:12:49 AM
Thought I would share a few pics of this new blade that John sent my way. It is a shorter blade and very chunky for the weight. Comes in at a touch over 2'12. But boy oh boy does this thing ping! Feels lovely in the hands, great pickup - I was pumped to use it in anger in our 20/20 comp last night but the rained ruined its debut!

Many thanks to John for producing this belter of a stick, very happy with it mate!

That's a monster!! Been looking to get a bat with a slightly shorter blade and I think I've found the place!!

Looks a right beast!! Bet you're gutted about the rain, I'd be dying to give that a swing!

Another cracker by John, how does she pick up? You'd think pretty bottom heavy, but knowing how well John balances, won't be surprised if it was nice for the weight and shape. Had a brute of a 3lb 4oz bat (plus or minus an ounce) in to adjust slightly and scuff up, and it honestly didn't feel as bottom heavy as it should! Thought it was just touching 3lb when picking it up. Have a look at the middle position too!

Picks up very well mate. So good I'd use this in normal cricket, and my usual weight is around 2'8. I'll definitely buy from John again, just on responsiveness alone it's so good. Will get a better profile pic to show how big it is

@Jenko great. To see that B3 crown going strong.

The T20 bat looks very nice as well mate, loved the pick up of one I owned and glad to hear it performs well

You're more than welcome mate. Enjoy using it. Should score you plenty with that rebound!
