HI,
Hope you're well!
So guys I was at a place where we had nets today so at that shop I saw few bats which had 40+ edges and felt like 2.6/2.7ish in my hands. Those bats were huge I must say.
I tried figuring out the grade and tried looking for grains but I was unable to find any!
It felt really light, had a good balance/pickup etc. So I want to ask was a Kashmiri Willow or I take the shopkeepers word who said it was Grade 5/6?
Sorry couldn't get pictures but it was huge and hopefully next week I'll snap some pictures.
Sitonit, I'm sure if you had seen this then you would have gone nuts!

No such thing as grade 5.
Grade 1
Grade 2
Grade 3
Grade 4
Kashmir

Though I remember that Kumar Sangakkara said in the interview in which he mentioned Ayrtek (link is somewhere on the Ayrtek board) that he uses a 'Grade 7' Bat..?! Interesting...seem to grade both ways, both Grade 7 bad, if that even exists, and Grade 7 Amazing! ???

not entirely true

No such thing as grade 5.
Grade 1
Grade 2
Grade 3
Grade 4
Kashmir
use to have grade 5 bats, 20 years ago!
Lack of grains makes me think its Kashmir. Where was this place?
-
I stand corrected, of sorts :)
-
Where was this place?
Canada methinks... :)
-
^ correct
The face was very dirty and hardly had any grains which were noticeable
-
Kashmir by the sounds of it. Let us know what it's like after a net or two ;)
-
Wouldn't be surprised if it is on a par with your Salix though mate ;)
-
LOL guys no I didn't buy it. I don't like buying bats from stores here as they don't have quality bats (some actually do)
Salix was very good Johan and its a gun really!
But Colsy how come it was ultra light as Kashmiris are not light
-
I'm not sure to be honest with you, but cosmetically it sounds like Kashmir
-
Hopefully when I go there next week and if he still has I'll snap pictures for you guys :)

So got a chance to take pictures on Saturday and here they are (sorry for poor quality, were taken from Torch)
