Title: A small collection of BB bats
Post by: Buzz on January 08, 2017, 12:21:28 PM
I think it is reasonable to say I love a bb bat. I have been using them exclusively for five or more seasons.

Here are three of my favourites, two you may recognise and a lovely new Joe Root BB special. Thank you to Uzair and Tai, for different reasons for this incredible bat...

I tried to tap up the new bat today with my 2 year old but he said it was "TOO LOUD DADDY I'M FRIGHTENED" I took that as a good sign.

I haven't actually weighed it, but it feels in the same weight range as the other two bats so around 2,10/11

It is 1cm shorter blade. I need to take pictures of the top of the handle as it is different from my other bats.

Enough waffle.

@Buzz - that middle one is a right sex-stick. You should let a 'propa batsman' have a go with that - IN A NICE, LOCAL NET!! (that would be a subtle hint!!)

Can't believe @Buzz  has cleaned the rest of the face and just left the middle with cherries!

Are you therefore claiming that the near perfect cherry grouping happened naturally?

Yup. Had a good day at the office...

So @Buzz - which is your match bat, your net bat, your wet weather bat and your 'I'm batting like a unicorn on pixie-dust' bat?

Post by: Buzz on January 09, 2017, 12:47:20 PM
@FattusCattus

Match Bat is the hulk, will use the Pro next summer too.

Hey @Buzz I was wondering what shapes your bbs are? They always look like they have plenty of wood where you need them
Title: Re: A small collection of BB bats
Post by: Buzz on May 19, 2018, 12:45:19 PM
Hi, I have a tour shaped bat which is completely convex.
There is a Joe Root profile and a pro bat shape which is low middled no real concaving on that either.
They are all in the region of 2-11 so there is a fair amount of wood behind the ball.

Wonderful bats.
The tour has been my first choice bat for 5 seasons...

Thank you @Buzz they look lovely - pardon my ignorance but what is the tour shape? Is that a Newbury shape?
