Not many brands left to try for me, Redback and H4L have impressed me with the couple I have seen at work. The English bat makers seem to struggle a bit with light bats from the ones I have seen.

That's an interesting comment about the English made bats.  I have noticed this too, although it does depend a lot on the shape etc.  I suspect it is mainly down to a higher moisture content...

What do you guys mean by light weight bats ? 2"9 and lower ?

2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 really for me.

[Neon Cricket]

Wouldn't class 2.8 as light, I'd say that's about normal nowadays - the lightest I had this year was a request for a 'full profiled 2.4'...

Blemish free, No concaving, 25 straight grains and weighing 2lb6 fully dressed??

[Vulcan Cricket]

Bat has to be made by Gary about 2 9 to 2 13 depends on pick also have to be oval handle and ping from word go not fussed about grains as long as goes

[InternalTraining]

More mass, around 2:12/2:13. I am ok with fewer grains if bat will last longer. Some concaving to help with the pickup. High, high middle. Heart-wood on the inside edge would be great as I like to flick. Max edges 7inches from the toe. Spine peek 11 inches from the toe. Massive bow, want to clear them 30 yarders.

Try a h4l tempo .... Closest you will get to that

spine yes, edges no...

[InternalTraining]

I chatted with H4L about Tempo, unfortunately, the mid peek can't be too high which is what I like.

2.6 2.7, have had some 2.5 in this season. We don't sell a lot over 2.9 2.10 with the exception being a few 3 pounders that a few of the pub players go for. Very little between 2.10 and 3lb.
