So, after buying a B2 Grade 1 bat back in January i quickly realised it was too heavy for me, eventually taking nearly a £100 loss on it without using it when i moved it on. However, i really liked the handle on it and the middle seemed very good, so i took a risk and decided to buy another one.
I contacted BB on WhatsApp and asked for something around 2'7 with performance over looks.
Eventually i settled on a
2'8 B4 performance grade bat at
£210 (including postage & knocking in) and jesus christ this is a beauty!
Finally had my first net session with it (having been out with a bad back) and i can see what the hype is surrounding these bats. I absolutely hammered it out the middle all session, prompting a team mate to declare "That thing sounds like a f****ng cannon mate" and i can't help but agree!
The thin handle also works wonders with my tiny hands. It also seems to help against the spinners as it enables me to manipulate my wrists when punching at the ball.
Anyway, i'll let the pictures do it justice
