Is there a law restricting the thickness of a bat?
-
yes, but only specifies a maximum (4 1/4 for SH bats).
-
thickness as in width or depth?
-
Depth, face to splice
-
oh right, got the wrong end of the stick then. for depth - no there isnt as far as i know! just limited by cleft sizes and us puny beings holding them
-
thought thats what Joseph was asking about so thought i would clarify!
-
How can you get a bat that size 2lb 8.5 oz?
-
Just wondering as in a WIndies game a while ago I thought the commentator whilst commenting on Gayle's bat said there was a max thickness.
-
sorry but i just think this is a pale imitation of the mongoose
-
WOWWWWW
-
Nothing ground breaking at all.
-
I'm not going to knock it as it looks good, but to be honest its not as radical as it was hyped up to be by everyone!
-

If I am correct it is because handle is a inch longer whereas blade is inch shorter
-
I'm not a fan of the stickers and no matter what people say this and the Mongoose MMI will NEVER pick up like a normal bat.
-
If you look at an eye in bat. They have huge edges because the original edges are gone. Same concept here.
Not working for me.
go for a Goose anyday

It's hard to create a radical bat that confirms to MCC laws, plays well, looks good and performs.
I'd argue it is radical as the concept has never been released before.
-
Yeah a si said thats why i'm not going to knock it :) as its so strict you can't do anything radical! and it was just generally hyped up by all as it sounded and tbh is very exciting!
-

Classic! I do rate the mongoose MMi3 that I have. But I have to say that the joker I have dwarfs the goose!
Obviously I could be wrong, and the joker turns out to perform like a big girs blouse...but i fear not!
But ask Watsontotty as well, as this is just my opinion, and as people say, "opinions vary!"
-
What specs did you ask for/get by the way?
-
Wow that looks really cool! A twist on cricket bat design without taking it too far, if you know what I mean. Love the stickers, too.
-
What's the pickup like Pete?
-
The bat weighs in a 2'10/11. Has 12 grains and is beautifully finished.
The pick-up is far better than I expected! I expected it to be bottom heavy, but it actually feels nicely balanced!
Like any bat, I guess it will either feel right or wrong for you - this personally feels right for me!
:D
-
Any pics?
-
I promised that watsontotty could have first 'show' of his joker, as he ordered first.
But I will grab the camera this evening ;)
-
I really like it, like the stickers, they look subtle and bold at the same time, so how big would at 2.8oz be?
-
Charlie would probably be able to measure the edges for a 2'8, but I would say that the edges would be between 40-44mm.
I am only saying that because oof a 2'10 bat being 45mm.
But its not just the edges at the fattest point - its also at the skinniest point, the edges are still pretty thick.
So the power from a 2'8 would still be immense! :D
Can't wait to take it down the nets! 8)
-
Am just looking at the pics again and I think I'm sold on the idea. I always though there was more to come from the Uzi style short blade idea and I think this is it. Will probably order one this week
-
They look like great bats! A fairly revolutionary idea applied very well, if Pete considers it a good bat it must be!
-
Pete considers every bat ;), hence why his collection is so vast :P
-
Hello,
Do you have this exact one available for sale? If yes, I will buy it.
