Three monsters, which one would you buy?
XP80:

Personally, I would go for 50+ and I am very tempted to get that.
I hope Kingsgrove get it for cheaper than GCCC.
-
One of each please.
-
Is the 50+ and warners the same or warners slightly bigger?
-
XP80 is a great T20 shape. We are spoiled for choice in Australia , but boy ..... we pay through the roof.
-
They look the same. I prefer the stickers on the 50+ though. The XP80 wins for me though.
-
I am not sure I could lift any of them!
-
Xp80 over the others but perhaps the Xp70 would be more manageable, as my prefer weight is around 2'8
From GCCC you'll be paying through the nose. Maybe a cheaper option to get one mapped via B3.
-

the handles are different lengths, warners being cut down
-
They all look like variations on the same shape with alterations to suit weight. Take the biggest, then reduce edge sizes and amount of concaving and you end up at the other two.
-
So who fancies buying all 3 and letting us get them mapped by B3? haha

Will be around the same.

Try and get bats these size and quality for less anywhere else.

There are options below the the XP 70 as well.
-
Is it just me or that XP80 looks like H4L tempo or MH distinction in heavier weight ?
-
According to the GCCC website the xp80 will be available in 2lb9oz!!!
-
I'm going to have to get our overseas to get the xp80 for me
-
They look rather heavy....2:14 ish
-

80mm spine and 2lb9
I hope it has 40mm edges and a full profile!
-
must be very overdried to get it to that weight

1 down
2 to go
-
They just don't do it for me - massive bats and all that, but the middle seems ridiculously high, as do the prices.
I'm sure I'd do the toe on one of these with my dicky timing on my stodgy UK tracks.
And the branding on the Kaboom is hideous.

Its all a experience

Voting is very close, we need a winner
First to 20 wins
-
Buy the XP80 to compare vs the M&H distinction - oh and after some of your posts keep out of the sun
-
Its all a experience
I believe the phrase you are looking for is "it's all an expense" :)
Oh - and as Cleo McDowell once said - "stay off the drugs son!"
-
Drugs are bad, mmkay!
-
I've got a couple of huge clefts in stock so am going to see what I can do in making replicas of these. They aren't overly light but will be interesting to see what can be made
-
I may sound like a party pooper
But should bats like this be legal.
I mean I play div 7 cricket if I came out with one of these
I would get slaughtered or do the slaughtering
But I do like the nostalgia of the 50+

there's a Beastie boys video where the parent's return home at midnight and smash up the stereo system, breaking up the party.And that's just happened here.
:) yes they should be made illegal...now where is my tin hat?
-
Didn't mean to shoot the post down
Obviously.
Just couldn't imagine batting with a bat that huge
Or could I
-
Shapes of 50+ and Warner look identical to me. XP bats look interesting as they don't have large edges and some concaving; with that shape you are conditioned to play with the middle of the bat and it is great for bouncy pitches. I'd opt for XP80.
-
I genuinely don't think the size of the bat matters. Speaking from a physics point of view, it just doesn't make any sense that two bats weighing the same but in different proportions would hit the ball any differently out the middle, save for the natural variances in the willow.

You could argue the bigger one wouldn't hit the ball as far if the bat came down at anything other than a dead straight angle, and the bigger dimensions would result in greater wind resistance.
We are off course talking minimal margins here, and that something that literally just popped into my head

is it not force into the bat-and then into the ball? a bat weighing 3lb used by a 10 stone bloke wont hit the ball off the square. a 3lb bat used by chris gayle will do.
is this not why most club players cannot hit the ball further with a heavier bat-presuming you are not overly very physically strong.
I'm hitting the ball harder and further with a bat weighing 2lb 9oz than any bat ive used at 2lb 11 or 12oz.
is that not it?
:) :)

Volume isn't what make the ball fly into the distance, it's the force. Don't recall any formulae where "something */ volume = force", but then I only did A level physics so I'm no Einstein.
-
Work = force x distance
