CD one thing in your review confuses me, you say you found it a bit dry, but surely if you wanted a 2'8-9 bat with 40mm edges and high spine you know they'd have to dry the willow?

You can't say they over dried the willow. A single coat will be sufficient

What are the specs on what you received Uzair? Looks a stunner anyway :)

Thanks :)

I pretty much got what I had asked for  :)

Cheers mate :)

I have no intentions to crown Pete Hosks nor I wish you! To crown him you need to rob a bloody bank every week!!

Cheers mate!

I have decided that Flare LE was my last bat and after that for sometime I won't buy anything.

295 Pounds which includes 25 Pounds shipping to Canada, so 270 Pounds for local fellas there.

Yes mate but you need to appreciate the only way you can give a bat bigger than normal edges, less cncaving than usual and a bigger spine than usual is to use willow which weighs less per unit of volume. The way you said it, it sounded as though you were surprised that it was dry...well you shouldn't be. There is no magic involved in making big bats, only the time spent in the kiln.

For those who are interested. I got to use the bat on weekend, it is a decent bat. Middle is good for front foot shots, haven't really tried for back-foot shots yet. Requires fair amount of playing in albeit I faced 39 overs (obviously not connected everything..) with it on Saturday.

However, I'm struggling with coping with its feel. I will persist with few more nets session and see where I stand. Fingers crossed!

Yes, this was first time I ever used the bat ever since I got it.
