Thanks to a fellow forum member, I picked up this bat from Kingsgrove Sports couple of days ago. I always wanted to try XP70/XP80 but most recently have become very reluctant to pay more than $300 for any bat. Discounted price on this bat was a good opportunity to test XP70 range.

Grade: 3
Edge: 31
Toe: 13
Spine: Nowhere near 70mms. Not sure how they blatantly advertise that all XP70s have 70mms peak. Also possible that I messed up with the measurements.
Weight: 2/8.5
Thin oval handle
Blemish on the playing area
Price: USD115 + shipping to the USA

Picks up very nice,  Pings okay, Have not had any nets so far.

Overall, for the price, can't complain much.

All of these i saw were nothing  like the top of the line xp70s... bot 70mm spine , hard press , different shaped handle , differnt shape (middle not looking as long ) etc. But if you're happy with it for the price , well , all good.

I ordered one too but it didn't suit the pitches in States so sold it and got myself a halestorm with 52 mm edge.

Halestorm has a 52 mm edge?!

How thick is the toe?

[Calzehbhoy]

What weight did you get the Halestorm in @KW9221 ?

[KW9221]

@InternalTraining yes 52 mm edge but I didn't measure toe yet. Will measure it later for you.

@Calzehbhoy around 2.12.

^ Where did you get it from?

[KW9221]

One of my mates retired and was selling about 7 top of the range bats. I bought all of them. Including GN pro performance bat.

I measured the toe and it is about 26mm.

Oh no , you're becoming a caricature of yourself now ..... everyone will be so unforgiving .
Cbf member 1 : "Ok , let's play some word association.... first word , 'InternalTraining '"
Cbf member 2 : "Um..... 'how big is the toe on that bat'"

I get it though..... in his defence,  he is looking for a big xp80 replacement with a bigger toe , so it's on his mind . But , still , it's so funny .

'How big is the bow? How is the ping?' Always include a separate mini-review for @InternalTraining  within my reviews, my way of showing love to all members of the community. We all have our own preferences, his happens to be big bows and big toes.

Ah-ha-ha. Very funny. 

Somebody find me a Chris Lynn bat!!
