Hmm not sure about worlds biggest bat but that does look massive, I heard one of the south africans uses a 4lb bat to practice with in the nets, so that his match bat "feels like a wand"

i think vaughan said this about collingwood, but may have been a saffer?

I've noticed more pro's using anti scuff than ever before, is this linked to laminated bats?

or softer pressing.

Must be why Ponting's bat had a rediculous ammount of tape on it at one stage...
Tendulkar's as well.

how much of a difference does the laminate make?
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: Bulldog Cricket on January 01, 2010, 05:43:45 PM
Lots
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: Mr Cricket on January 01, 2010, 05:48:58 PM
its all about muscle memory and training exact muscles needed for that individual batting as we dont all play shots the same way, so a standard work out to train up these muscles and serve all would be pointless as you might use a different muscle to somebosy else while playing the same shot, the best way to do that is to use a weighted item, like the bat we have seen on this topic... many golfers use weighted clubs in training aswell for the same purpose
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?

Some people say its all psychological
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: AlRidd on January 02, 2010, 03:47:27 PM
Surely when you use your 2lb..... match bat you would get through the shots far too early if your used to a 3lb.... monster?
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: Tom on January 02, 2010, 03:51:14 PM

I think with laminates the idea is that you can have a hard layer over the top of an unpressed layer increasing the rebound.
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: petehosk on January 02, 2010, 04:32:37 PM
Ok - as requested....another CJI Fatso big boy coming up!
Not as big as Craigs! as 60mm edges are just mental. But have given a comparison for the Fatso here!
I wanted to give a comparison against a meaty bat, so that you could see the difference. I therefore used a CA8000 plus (stickers removed and replaced by Genuine Slaz Oz ones)
Enjoy - for you fat lovers out there!  ;)

(http://i551.photobucket.com/albums/ii471/petehosk/Collection/CJI09.jpg)

The CJI weighs in at around 3lb 5/6oz
The CA (Slaz) weighs in at 2lb 9/10oz

Edges on CJI - 55mm: Edges on CA - 35mm+
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: petehosk on January 02, 2010, 04:39:38 PM
The CJI is a heavy beast but luckily I am 17 stone and not fat! So it doesn't feel massively heavy for me.
And the pick-up is actually prettt good!
I think that if anywhere on the blade connects to a ball, then the ball will be gone!
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: Apple on January 02, 2010, 05:04:00 PM
pete you sound like should be playing rugby!

 
can someone explain to me how a laminate works?
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: slogger02 on January 02, 2010, 05:09:46 PM
hard layer on top, so on impact the ball looses less energy so rebounds faster.  soft layer underneath to obtain the trampoline effect.  putting them together you get less energy loss and more ping!!

cheers slogger, does make sense
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: petehosk on January 02, 2010, 05:32:59 PM
The Slaz Oz (CA 8000 plus) is a really nice bat! But spoilt by the damn CA stickers!!
The nice Slaz Oz stickers were from GCCC, so never cheap! But I got the bat for under £80, so all in all - a very nice grade 1 with lush stickers, and high ping-o-meter reading for around £100!
Not sure what stickers to put on the CJI bat, as I think the standard CJI stickers look too fussy!!
I was thinking get some surfer stickers to customise the bat, as I will use it as more of a training bat anyway?
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: GJ on January 02, 2010, 05:40:56 PM
That is a monster Pete!
Would love to have a go with a bat like that.
I think bats look a bit silly when they have rediculous size edges...
Title: Re: World's Biggest Bat?
Post by: raymond on January 02, 2010, 05:55:32 PM
I wouldnt think that colly would use a heavy bat to make his match bat feel light.

There was a similar idea in golf with a practice club that was twice as heavy, the idea was that it would be easier to keep the club on line.

I think the idea with the bat is that id would make it easier to get your hands through the ball, improving driving especially. It makes sense as if anyones ever used a really light bat theyll know its harder to keep the bat on line. Using the heavy one should ingrain the correct feeling!

Post by: Talisman on January 13, 2010, 08:04:03 AM
The lamination on that bat will not give the effect caused by others, i.e. 25% more power. It could have been made from one piece if needed, just cut your clefts bigger and then it would not be illegal for match play.

Someone metioned about collis king and i played against him when he played for bardsey evening league towards the end of the season and his bat was 4lb it was a newish one aswell and it was ridiculosuly big soo i compared it to my ca 8000 with 35 mm edges and its was dwarfed he had a couple of them in his bag!! but he use to have 2 bats stuck together as a few of my teammates told me : /

I know this isn't the world biggest bat but I wanted to share it..
I'm knocking in a friends bat and just thought I'd look on youtube for some tips. In the video I was surprised at the size of the bat if it was  on general sale...

What do you think?
