Post by: Ryan on May 28, 2016, 07:25:31 PM: I've been over today to pick up more willow, the blades aren't over dried. They are roughly 9 to 10% all the way through the blade so I think inline with wrights etc.

Depends if the name of the bat is the 'Colossus' or 'Colossus!'

Post by: dcullen8 on May 28, 2016, 11:34:23 PM: Theyre hardly small to start with, so if theyre going to be extra light/bigger bats then maybe

No, life's too short.

Just smile smugly if you like and move on.
