oh wow!
-
That has an (No Swearing Please) bigger than my Missus
-
That looks huge! Can't believe it only weighs 2lb 9ozs :o
-
Is that in its current state? If so by the time you have added binding, stickers, grips and scuff sheet it's going to be 2.13 or so. Still a big bat but not as impressive at that at fully dressed
-
If they drill them out like they do with the Turbo then that's how they loose an extra 2-3oz.
Mine is working very well. It's making my Laver Ultra stay in my kit bag. It does have a distinct sound though.
-
3oz drilling highly unlikely Jaffa however I have a couple of drilled bats but not 3oz pal
-
Drilling holes in bats .....oh the memories ! I got inspired by the millichamp and hall signature way back in 93ish and drilled out holes in a g.n that was too heavy . Worked a treat , but even with 10 or more holes i reckon it only dropped .5-1 oz .
-
No weight?! I'll have one of those!

didn't realize how all of that can add up so quickly.

So really when you ask for a 2'9 bat you're effectively using a 2'5-2'6 bit of willow and the dressing makes up the last 3-4ozs?

yes grips, binding,stickers,scuff sheet, and toe guards.

Yep, all depends on how many stickers are used, thickness of the grip etc. Lots of factors determine the final weight but you're about right for most makers I would say. It's why getting a big bat at 2.6-2.7 can be difficult as you are getting closer to the 2lb mark for a pre finished weight. 1oz can be a lot of willow
-
Which is why I no longer buy bats with stickets, toe guard, and scuff sheet. I request just the bat and one grip which means more wood in the bat and less frou-frou.
-
Too light!
-
I'm getting my match bat copied by hunts, very excited to see the out come.
-
I wouldn't mind wafting the second one around no matter what the weight.
