Looks very light, I would go for 2lb 6oz

We have a winner! 2.6 with grips which went down to 2.4 with no grips.

I am looking forward to knocking it in over the winter, The middle response feels good already, just got to find a time to use it.

Looks like a good bat for me, except for the thin handle, which is probably keeping the weight down!

Very nice bat for a 2.6

Just had another look at the handle, looks the same size as my harrow bat!

So I thought I would get in contact with David from Norfolk Cricket Bats last night about some new stickers . I went over today thinking it would only take 2 minutes, just got home after 3 hours spent taking all things cricket. In the end, David rebound my handle to double thickness, gave my bat a refurb and restickering. He gave me a tour of his workshop and we spoke about bats for hours! It's amazing the knowledge and experience that David has gathered, certainly not your Indian made bats that have been stickered up. I'm going back shortly to watch him make my next new bat, a very special creature. Easily been one of highlights of the year.

Ryan you lucky so and so!
Can we get a video of the bat making process (if David allows and you're willing to film it obviously)

Like those stickers, they are a huge improvement

I will see what I can do next time I'm there!

Just thought I would add a few mores details.

David does all the work himself, including picking his clefts, pressing and shaping. He prides himself on providing a custom service to all cricketers that he makes bats for, something that is missing in Norfolk especially. We talked about blades, handles, weights and pickups and all sorts that I can't remember. It was a pleasure to watch him start work on my new bat, were we discussed a variety of shapes and models before settling on a finish idea. I can't wait to see it finished and giving it a go.

Nice looking stickers and certainly much better than the initial ones IMHO!
