Got this today off Mike, a friend wanted a heavy bat 3lb+ which I had none of so tried Mike. Who managed to get me this beast made up, looks a bit of a shapeless log but picks up nicely and is perfect for the slogger who wants it! There was no point stickering the edges, as the edges dwarfed anything put on them.

The Zeus next to it is 2lb 10, the edges at the shoulders and toe of the 3lber are bigger than the Zeus' at their max.

Tom even for 3lb 2oz that's one huge bat, I've used bats of that weight myself but never had them that big of a profile. There are pictures around of my 3lb 2oz fusion which Jame's made for me but its not that big but a class bat never the less.

Lol, I had to use one as it wasn't like any other Newbery shape.

The guy who had it off me is chuffed to bits with it, it is a bit shapeless but if it was shaped a bit more the weight would be lower I'd think. This bat musn't have needed much wood taking off it, it really is big all over.

That is one big bat, how big are the edges?
