Just thought I would give you guys an insight into the performance of these bats. Took both down to the bowling machine yesterday and had an hour of balls. Using the scoop predominately as this will be my match bat, and I have to say the lack of meat behind the hitting area doesn't seem to affect the power generated with shots. I have to say that the pickup on the scoop felt ... different, but I cannot pin point why or how! A bucket of so of balls soon overcame this and I certainly enjoyed using it.
So then onto the monstrous powerbow. All I can say is that I have never in my life had a bar that felt so powerful. I have used a range of bats in my cricketing career but nothing comes close to this bat! It will definitely be a midweek bat, but it maybe worth me bulking up a bit use this bat.
Both are top quality blades and would give them both 2 big thumbs up!
