So I decided to purchase a SD Slaz fusion after having a ride to their main head office store near me.
It said 2.10 on the handle. Now,minus the stickers, oiled, changed grip and KT tape added to the binding, it weighs 2lb 8.5.
Edges are around 39mm and spine around 68ml.
The pick up is delightful to say it has a lowish middle but the willow seems really soft and is really showing indentations when I'm lightly hitting with the mallet.
There are a couple of small knots under the face stickers but the rest of the face/grains are not much different to bats I have for 5 times the price.
Will do as a net bat at the very least.

On the thin side and oval but I prefer this.
Adding the extra layer of tape onto the binding has made it just right for me.

Taken the plunge - now hoping for a decent bit of wood to arrive in 4-6 days

Very similar size and weight. Also great under the mallet
If I can figure out how to upload more images I shall.

So this bat for £50 has been knocked in and used in anger. It's brill. Big bat for weight and lovely middle
Proper £50 bargain.
