You would have to be big to use that!

keeper do you mean massive...

Even Mat Hayden and likes would struggle to use this....

yvk3103 · « **Reply #5 on:** February 08, 2009, 06:29:10 PM »

probably serves dual perpose - use as a bat in the match and as a eye-in bat in the nets

If you managed to hit the ball with this bat it would never come back!! Thats is one massive bat,very impressive!

Hell4leather... how much do you want for this bat?

i think lance klusener might have given this bat a go.

what is the point in all these massive bats? they weigh loads too, i could understand if it was a 2.9 that had 50mm edges, but this weighs 3.6, pointless

I couldn't

I really dont see why people think this is bad. Some people like huge/heavy bats, and this bat is an excellent piece of willow. With 50mm edges, and it being 1 piece of willow. Even if you dont like this sort of bat, i dont understand how you could say its bad.... its amazing that you can make a cricket bat with these specs!!

the bat was made as a show bat,not to any specs .was just playing around with some willow and this is what i come up with,picks up quite well for the weight.... it is not for sale at the moment

Heavy bats are a double edged sword, the extra power is seductive but you have to accept a double hernia is a possibility.

If it goes on sale, I would be interested!

Matt, the willow looks really nice - tight grain and heartwood on the outside edge (for me anyway) - if you took weight off to nearer 2.10 could you still have a bat with a really decent size profile?
