looks good as new - and with no knocking in needed - what's not to like.

It's great - there's a crack on the toe which won't last for ever, but this is such a great bat I can't let it go - there's a topic about that isn't there!

Matt - fancy refurbing by Hattori now?  Two more hundreds Friday and Saturday its starting to look a bit battered.  Think thedon wants a slightly lighter copy of it made for him too!

One of the best bats i have seen in a long time. Pick up for a 2lb 13oz bat bat is amazing...more like 2lb 10oz

not wishing to hijack this thread but how long can a bat perform well at before the sweet spot dies which i thought was normal... 5 years seems a long time but encouraging if it doesn't break before then... is it more luck ?

I don't score many runs (as you may find out)

It's fair to say it's been in rotation with others over the years....

My itias lasted 3 seasons of 3 matches and two net sessions a week,  too a full on battering and only started to die in winter nets.   so i guess it depends on how you treat your bat too,  i always kept it tidy, new tape and face every so often etc etc
