that's a Purist II though isn't it?

Yes it is... It was my attempt at going for a lighter bat... Word of warning, going from a 3lber to a 2lb6oz doesn't work..lol

What do people think of the edge - a little bit too straight??

Personally I think they're fine (obviously) but wouldn't be devastated if a subtle bow was introduced. Please please please keep a rounded face as opposed to the flat face trend which has crept in.

I have 4 x Purist shape bats being delivered tomorrow. I honestly cant wait to get a few knocked in and used. I still think that it was the best cricket bat shape, and arguably, will be for years to come.

I still have my Purist Original, although it does have the Icon stickers on! But very decent bat indeed!

Just searching the interweb for the Purist and came across this post. Have to agree that I don't think there has been a greater 'all round' cricket bat since.

Its up there, but I prefer the Original Millichamp and Hall shape. Both great bats though.

I still have a Purist from about 2004

id have to say yes!

one of the most gutting moments ive seen was when a lad at an old club of mine had an original shape purist 909, had 2 hundreds on the bounce was cruising through the 70s in a third game and dug out a yorker and put a crack straight up the middle of the blade!! it was one of the nicest looking bats ive seen and went like the clappers!!!! his face when he called for another bat was pure shock, he was out 5ish runs later!!!

always wanted one as well as the maxi from the same time (2003/4/5)
