Im just wondering what everyone's bat weights are? Just interested to see what is the most commonly used bat weight is . . . . If you have multiple bats would be interesting to see the weight range.
I'll start the ball rolling
Bat 1 - 2.10lbs
Bat 2 - 2.11lbs
Bat 3 - 2.14lbs
-
my bat of choice would be somewhere between 2.9-2.11. It all depends how it feels when you use it though. my hunts is 3oz heavier than my kook although when you pick it up you wouldnt think so...
-
1. 2.14lbs
2. 2.9lbs
-
1.2lb 7oz have 3 of theese
2.2lb 6oz
3.2lb 4oz
4.2lb 10oz
use the light one for more flexibility in 20/20
I like toothpicks
-
1. 2.14
2. 2.12
3. 2.9
4. 2.6

When I was playing regularly I was still quite young so I would always go for something light, 2'8 maximum. Now I'm older and have bulked up a bit I will experiment with things up to 2'10. With modern bat making techniques giving good performance, I can't see much point in going any heavier.

-
Weighed bats
2lb 10oz
2lb 11oz
2lb 11oz
Thought I was about 2lb 9oz guy but bats weigh slightly more think feel is more important than specific weight.
-
2.8- SCAT
2.9- Mjolnir
2.11- Cadbury
2.12 -SCAT
bit of a range depending on what gets put in the bag....2.5 was just too light and timing went all to pot so went back to heavier! not used the light scat yet tho as not been knocked in fully so will be interested to see if it goes as well as the other
-
Bat no 1) 2.10
Bat no 2) 2.9
Always been comfortable at 2.10. A 2.8 seems to light and wafty, and anything heavier plays havoc with my moo-shot!
-
1. 2.14lbs
2. 2.9lbs
Is the 2.14 a net bat Joe?
2.11 (SAF)
2.10 (Lekka, though that is going.. :(- a mate desperately needs a bat...)
2.10 (H4L)
2.12 (Redback on its way from a forum member)
2.8 (Middling Bat)
2.14 (Potential Net bat, depending on my funds come april...)
:)
-
1. Talisman PRO- 2.9
2. Ayrtek Elite... 2.10
3. M&H Harlequin 2.7
4. Black Cat Voodoo 2.7
5. Joker 2.10
i like my bats light i however have been tempted by some 2.10 ish bats in recent times........
am considering buying a 3lb + net bat...........
-
Johan it was my match bat all of last year and got on with it fine until a 'veteran' of our club told me it was far too heavy for me. I thought about it and he was right, I used to be good at cuts and pulls and found I could no longer play them because of the bat. I used a 2.10 next game (T/20) and got 50 off 30 balls. 3 fours and 4 sixes, 3 of the sixes were pulls :)
I'll use it for nets and a couple of T/20's probably next season.
-
Ahh, makes sense. Cheers for explaining, is the 2.9 the new Catalyst on the way, which bat is this 2.14 if I may ask?
Johan

Redback - 2lb 9oz
Talisman - 2lb 9oz

solitek 2.12
blueroom 2.10
lekka 2.11

Mine range from 2.10 to 3lb, with my median being 2.11.
-
M&H Distinction: 2.10
M&H Harlequin: 2.9
GN: 2.11
LW Reserve: 2.11
Bradbury S Players: 2.10
Goin purely by dead weight, my ideal weight is 2.9. But I got up to 2.10/2.11 if the pick-up is light.
The only thing I am very fussy about is the handle shape and diameter (thickness)
-
Adidas: 2.7
Puma: 2.14
GN: 2.12
Slaz: 2.12
-
1: 2.11 Worsop
2: 2.7 Slaz
2: 2.11 Phoenix
3: 2.10 Slaz

Blueroom 2lb12

I think that this is an interesting topic - I always thing of two weights with a bat - the naked weight and the dressed weight.
For a blank bat I would ideally go for around 2.9, which could be as much as 2.11 when dressed with stickers grip, toe guard, protective facing etc.
The SAF Genus i have was 2.11 naked and about 2.13 dressed.

Now got a set of scales that works. Will weigh mine in the next couple of days.

Why would you want to weigh your set of scales Tim?

I have a very small range. Only feel comfortable and best between 2.7 and 2.9
