Digging up an old thread. I have been using my teammates Kippax problade for a few weeks. He had been using it for about 3 seasons and a poor shot led to the bat splitting across the toe. He had given up on it so i took it off him and repaired it using wood glue and dowels and been testing it to see if it would last. Im not the type of batsman who middles a lot and I can testify that i have not felt any vibrations or shock in my hands at all playing with this bat as compared to my other bats. Not sure about the increase in power but i did hit a six off the bottom of the bat just today without feeling anything in my hands. Will be doing a detailed video soon on my channel
