Who can find the worse grains on a pros bat?

I have one Pro bat that looks absolutely cr@p but goes like a rocket on steroids!
Will try to snap a couple of pics on the iphone later

I've got a pro's Kookaburra, has 8 grains with a few blemishes! Not a looker by any means but its very big for its weight and goes like a train!

similar to my now defunct ss it was 2lb 6oz dried to the max and 9 grains with a few blemishes yet as good as some more illustrious bats and i used it for over 70 per cent of cricket last year

Have you used the flintoff puma yet pete?

Used my bat for the first time after refurb tonight and was pleased to see that it still goes like a f*cking train!

[19reading87]

Is that with the new anti scuff liam? Ow and why couldn't you see what grains it had before?

[petehosk]

Not used the Flintoff bat yet......too many bats and not enough nets!! 

The bat with the rubbish grains but goes as well as any Grade 1 I have used is a Malik hand made for a Pakistan International.
Pics are to follow

I'd happily take your Flintoff bat on loan to give it a go! It will need a bit of exercise!

[petehosk]

Needs knocking in before anything else fella!

[Liam-SCCC]

Well I would offer to do that, but its a pet hate of mine!

That Malik must go like a train, though it doesn't look very pretty...I guess possibly made for Azhar Ali?

[petehosk]

Ok detective johan! 
And yes, it shocked me when I got it.
Just goes to prove that we shouldn't go on looks alone!
