I am an Australian and am currently playing my 4th year as an overseas in this country. A mate took me in to see the boys at kippax in my first year, and I haven't used another bat since. I have had a few different ones and they have all been really good bats. In fact about half my team back home are using ones I took back as well as quite a few in my club over here. Don't be afraid to go in and see them at the shop, they are very helpful and I'm sure they can find the right bat for you. Currently using the new red wavex, 2 grips about 2.12, but picks up much lighter and has a cannon for a middle.
