That £99 Laver I'll be using as a match bat has 8 grains. And that Kook is nothing - I used to have a Hunts bat that had (literally) grains in S shapes. Went like a gun though!

Current match bats - 10 and 12 grains
The all time minimum was 6 (wobbly ones) I think and the max 24/25. I fully agree with the views expressed by most people that that no. of grains does not impact the performance in any meaningful way.

In the past I have found that (in general) bats with fewer grains have taken a little longer to play in and loosen up. Whereas bats with more grains seem to go well from the off! But it is also supposed to be a rule that bats with more grains have a shorter life, althogh I can't confirm this from my experience yet!

I'd say 0-7 few
8-12 average
13 or more a lot

They (the ones I'd consider trying in a match...) - all have 10 grains or less. I think...

I wondered how long it would take for you to ask that question! I'm afraid these are staying with me. Cracking bats - only got them towards the end of the season, looking forward to using them next summer  :D
