Post by: avkrish on March 05, 2017, 05:57:25 AM: Here is mine, received it a couple of weeks back from Kingsgrove Sports, fully knocked in. Could not believe it weighed 2lb 11.8oz! Currently the weight is around 2lb 12.4oz with scuff sheet and edge tape. Trying to get used to the thin handle. Love the GN stickers on this bat too.

A very big thank you to Harry and Hamish Solomons who took interest in getting it done at this weight. Everyone else said it should weigh around 2lb 14oz.

Apologies for the quality images, were taken using phone (the first two from KSC).
