Mine was ordered at 2lb 9 think upwards of that but could be wrong

Just check 2lb8oz-3lb on the website.

I dont know how big your hades is mate but my 2.10 is not a big bat, balance is nice and so is the pick up but when i first got the bat i was actually disappointed looking at it for 260GBP it had 5-6 wide grains and looked tiny...

rebound in the nets was good to ok but haven't even used it in a match and noticed the toe is starting to split... can't believe it  :(...

thansk Norbs, will give it some more time before anything...i understand that not all bats can be great despite the care and attention paid by the maker because willow is funny thing.

I am hoping to use it in a match this saturday and will get back to you after that...

here are some pics of the "split", i can't get myself to call it a crack as there is no compression due to a ball hitting it etc...anyways I took the scuff sheet off and its glued, shoegooed & rescuffed now






I did knock it in a lot too and have knocked a lot of bats so not sure if i did something wrong here...

looks very softly pressed, needs more knocking in I'm afraid.
