Hi guys, I read that Martin Crowe used a 2:4 (an article he wrote on criciinfo) and Mohammad Azharuddin 2:4 (Atherton's biography) (if I recalll correctly). Do you think it's possible to have pingy blades at that weight or a couple of ounces more in this day and age? (Both guys weren't short either).
Your thoughts pls, thanks

Absolutely, i've seen 2 or 3 2'4s this year but all are long sold.

Remember some of these bats have a toe guard or scuff sheet, or both.

Yes i have seen size 6 bats weight 2-3 , 2-4 and pingy
You can get SH in 2-6 and will be pingy

Size 6 and pingy??!! That'd be something!!!
@vitas, seems like you're the go to guy for super light bats!
-
I have a naked 2.6 CA which is absolutely ridiculous. So definitely possible.

yes got some custom made from robinson got top quality bats

Size 6 bats can be pingy. I have a few that were custome made by Laver and Marty Graham of MG2 Cricket. The lightest one weight 2-8, fully dressed. Take off the stickers, toe guard, and scuff sheet, then you are looking at a 2-6 bat.

My match bats 2.7 including a scuff sheet
Unbelievably pingy
-
Opening the batting on our fast bouncy track for me it's all about bat speed so I use a GN 2lb 4 ounce mid middle pro performance prestige it as all the wood in the right places pings a treat
-
That's encouraging. I prefer light bats, my current one has a shoulder crack (weighs about 2:9), in the meantime I'm using a 2:13!!!!
-
Would have thought that would create a timing problem especially when hooking pulling and cutting.
-
I got two g.n's that started life at 2lb8oz . After refurbs / reshaping they are 2lb5oz and 2lb6oz respectively. They both ping .
-
I had a splendid Salix at 2lb 4oz, one of the best bats I ever had, certainly prefer a light bat to a heavy one.
-
I've had a grays at 2'7 with scuff sheet and edge tape went like anything. Sadly no longer with us though.

@Vitas Cricket - that shoulderless Salix is rather nice, was that one of the light ones - what actually is it?

Judging by the stickers, a wasp, I don't ever recalls this model but I agree it looks lovely really like the darker stickers
-
I have a number of 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7s collected over several years. Love using light bats
-
Bradman & taylor both used bats around 2lb 2oz & they went alright as batsmen

A wasp performance at 2'6. On sale at £210 down from £270 :)

I've used it for 2 innings, not one pull shot so far.
Having read the replies it does give confidence in playing with a feather light bat.
