Review of my RBK
« on: May 25, 2008, 01:54:09 PM »




My RBK smash bought for me in india by my grandad for around £16. He said the service was really good and the guy helped him choose which bat to get. It is made of kashmir willow and has 12 straight grains with a nice bit of heartwood on the edge. It's rebound is like nothing iv'e ever used and definetly on a par if not better than my gm hero 707. Cosmetically it's a lot better and has a black standard grip on the bottom and a white octopus grip on top. Weight is 2 12 but picks up about 2 10 and just feels absolutely great.
Good points
Value for money
Pings well

Bad points
Got to go a long way to get another 1 for the same price.

In nets theball just seems to come off nicely and the middle really pings. Blocks that hit the middle still go back to if not past the bowler.

You're 14 with a 2lb 12? That's ridiculous, there is no way you can play properly with something that heavy.

i can trust me. It just seems to work for me. We only get 6 overs max to bat anyway so it's not as if i'm using i for a prolonged period of time.

Arthur he may be a very large 14 year old? I know a 14 year old who uses a 2,11 and he uses that very effectively and the weight does not effect his performance.

I'm 5 foot 10, nearing 5'11, and I use a 2lb 9, which I'm often asked whether it is too heavy, it just amazes me why you'd want something that heavy, I can't see it being much of an advantage over a lighter bat, you must be huge!
