Title: Supernova 500 xtreme bat
Post by: Whispering Death on April 08, 2017, 02:29:29 PM: Just saw a monster one of these in Tony Pryce Exeter for £220 - must have been 50mm edges easily and pickup felt pretty decent!

Is there much difference in size than this and some of the £600 warners??? Looks a steal to me!!

Definitely bats intended to be used for a good time rather than a long time

If you're interested I'd go back and take your normal bat with you for comparison. Bats have this weird way of tricking you ;)

You obviously haven't waved around the numerous Kranzbuhler made Warners and 50+'s than I have in the last 6 months then.

I haven't picked up one that I could accurately guess the weight... These things are incredible

I was talking about the UK models mate, like the Extreme, Colossus etc that @Whispering Death was talking about. Not the Oz versions.

Out of curiosity what do you mean by feel like a grade 2?

Post by: Jones129 on April 20, 2017, 04:32:33 PM: Being a bigger and heavier bat my thinking would it might play better than its grade 2 tag
