Do we know if Hale's uses that weight? 2.12+

I have heard that even Warner's bats he uses were much lighter than the replica's that were being sold. heard one of his was around the 2.9 mark at that size.

My point being that I know the pros get the best but if you're paying top dollar should you get the weight as well?

Post by: potzy248 on November 19, 2017, 09:38:43 PM
Haha true. I'm just talking about the cost of one of these bats and for the price you should also get the best willow.
Yeah i did see that Warner video, I'm talking about one of his bats from last year though as Ive heard on good authority that his were so much lighter than the replica's.
Ive also had a Kane Williamson replica and held his actual bat from his bag and his one was bigger and lighter. Just food for thought.

Have you not seen @simonmay5 GN bat from AUS, that's 2.9 and a monster

GN Aus has been cranking outstanding bats at a lighter weight. Meulemans's custom XXX grade bats made by GN are an example - monster middles with light weights!

All the xxx11 are made by Stuart and are fantastic bats even the lower grade bats are extremely good value as well

Indeed, basically, the edge has an edge.

I was told the halestorm profile is different, same profile Hales uses without the double edge and similar to last years halestorm ??
Title: Re: Kronus halestorm
Post by: Six Sixes Cricket on November 21, 2017, 02:01:39 PM
The double edge is to give the impression of a massive edge when looking side on

I may be making this up, but I'm sure I heard/read somewhere that you can request any of the models in any colour scheme this year.

Anyone able to confirm either way?
Title: Re: Kronus halestorm
Post by: No.4 on November 21, 2017, 05:08:29 PM
I think It was mentioned in the ijc lords review video you could get the stickers in other colours if requested.

Interesting design. I am curious about the performance of this shape.

Why would it be any different? There’s still a lump of wood behind a face of the bat

I understand that. I am asking because it is a unique shape - it almost has three spines. So, how it feels when ball rebounds, how it pings, etc. are all questions I am interested in.

Title: Re: Kronus halestorm
Post by: neilhembrow180 on December 08, 2017, 04:32:31 PM
Hi mate..yes but i am unable to post the pics here for some reason.
There was big cock up between myself and the retailer.
When i pre ordered the bat i was aware that they wete not in stock so i called them to ask if it was possible to let me know when they would be in..anyways i metioned something on twitter to them about the bats being available to go pick one out ..they replied with they are made to order so i will not be able to pick one out...i was bit gutted to be honest as i would never have ordered one..anyways the bat gets delivered to me and its absolutley amazing...but way way to heavy for me which i had a feeling it would as these bats are huge hence me needing to go feel one and pick my own..im taking the bat back tomorrow for exchange but they dont have any top end grays in stock..so will be going for something else..they are completely fine with this and been really good ..

So i took the kronus back on saturday..very disapointed with the gray nics bat they had..i understand they are having issues with grays...i ended up buying an absolute belter of a new balance tc1260..not the LE..this one was far better than the LE...ALWAYS hand pick the bat guys and gals..there is always a hidden gem...photos to follow
