-
Is that English Willow?
-
Yes, from my tree's.
-
Well bugger me, that is huge!!
-
You mean that is one of your trees with a little taken off, but only a little! Its ginormous! love it!
-
I'd prefer this to a Mongoose lol. Imagine the bowlers face if you called for this?? :L
-
I'd laugh because the guy bringing it out to me would have to hold it with both hands or drag it, mind you there are some beasts i know who would love to wield this!
-
what weight is it matty?.....4lbs spot on?
-
I know a couple of people at our club who would give it a go lol.
Just wondering, what is the mm of the toe on this? :L
-
Oh Hell-Boy! If that doesn't sell, I can of a group of nerds who'd like to see that in the near future.
-
Would take a real man to wield that
-

Well as i keep telling people, I am growing ;) Grrrr
-
Need to hit the gym a bit more to wield this one peeps
-
Would take a real man to wield that
You rang?????????????????????/
-
looks like my sort of bat !
i wield a 3lb beast but this dwarfs it !
-
That is something else. Part of me wants to say that I want it, but I know I could never wield it!
-
Is this being sold to someone? Or something for your private collection?
-
Makes my 3'2 look like a tooth-pick!
-
i was just thinking it puts yours to shame!! :P
-
The Hosk keeps harpin on about liking heavier bats
-
that is ridiculous, i dont think youd need much of a back lift when using that
-
that is ridiculous, i dont think youd need much of a back lift when using that
not sure many would manage a back lift!
-
I think this is XXL!
-
if you shaved it down to a more usable 3lb, I wonder what size the edges would be then?
Collis King would probably buy this bat, doesn't he like 4lb 3oz Nixon bats?
-
That is outrageous and brilliant :D
-
Now that really puts the CJI Fatso to shame. I'd love to walk out at the end of a T20 brandishing that!
-
Not sure what to do with this,may sell it if the right offer came along ...
-
That is huge!!!!!
-
What grade willow is that? And what is its pickup like?! Might be interested in getting it as a training aid; it could improve batspeed!
-

Perhaps resticker as a solitaire and resell it as saying it weighs 2 ' 10??
-
too light for a solitaire
-
Ha!
-
Thats incredible! Whats the ping like, or do I even bother asking?
-
WOW! Just speechless.
You would need the Hulk to lift that monster.
-
it is a gun!
-
More like a Cannon I'd say, or maybe a tank
-
Surely more of a battleship 12 incher?
-
Surely more of a battleship 12 incher?
No no it cant be, i have something nicknamed that ;)
-
Where are all then blokes with muscles to take this huge bat
-
Well if i have to step up i will! Actually may have a monsterous guy at my club interested, spoke to him at meeting tonight, but not sure how much htis would go for??!!
-
As a rough estimate, if you made a XL bat at around 2'10. What would be the biggest edges you could get on it? just as an estimate.
-
prob around 42-45mm edges
-
It looks like a middling bat from side on lol
How big is the toe on this?
-
prob around 42-45mm edges
I think i may be interested in one of these closer to the season then. What is the price of them?
-
That's obscene!! But kind of cool!
-
WTF.....
-
You could shave a few mm of each edge and make the blade a tad smaller then you would have a jokeresque bat that would still have huge edges but maybe a more manageable wielding weight
-
Looks immense! Great work Matt!
Talisman, any update on my cleft similar to this? The money is ready to fly your way.
-
:o :o :o That is insane. i think i weigh around 4lb in the shower so theres no way i'd be able to lift it. would have a bloody good go though ha ha. Top effort Matt that is one crazy bat!
-
can someone (Tom) please send these pics to yabby21@hotmail.co.uk . . . Please :)
-
will do....im currently in negoatiations with matt on my comission as his PR agent ;)
-
Yeah sorry mate I probably owe you about an hour of your life back!!
-
haha thats ok mate, iv sent them over to you
-
Yeah cheers Tom, just seen them that is some profile . . . would need forearms like straussy to lift that monster!!
-
think I need a crash course on loading photos !
-
I actually want it lol. I could lift it, but not for long :D
-
I recon id give it a good go ;) wonder how far a 6 would go if i connected with this...Colsey u cud be picking it out of the pub not the school!
-
Lol gladly, providing you get me a drink ;)
-
Can you imagine how far Kieron Pollard would have hit it off Tait if he had this beast?
-
not far at all, as he wouldnt have been able to generate any bat speed at all.
-
He probably could create a bit! Not sur eit would go nay further than his other bats though, however thats still a hell of a long way!
-
Wow, that bat is insane!
-
Battleship 12 incher!
No no it cant be, i have something nicknamed that ;)
What you play with in the bath is your own affair :)
Actually, I want to be the first to touch it (the bat that is, not Pepsi's mythical Tugboat)
-
shoudlnt this be the Hex-L surely thats linked to hell n all that dark stuff!
-
Ooooooooh Good call Mr Alisteir Crowley!!!
-
Or maybe the X-Hell?
-
Re there any plans for an Excel XL range....
-
See what uv done there johnny! Matty u can add that to my commission ;) lol
-
That bat could do with a counter balance.
-
Only popeye could use that beast.
Whats the biggest you could do a bat like that in a 2lb 8/9 range?
-
Kal he told me he could do a 2'9/10 with about 40mm edges.
-
and at 2lb 8 oz, the back is concave and the middle a sleight 35mm.....
-
the toe of it is is my middle :)
