around 60 - but remember that the barn is only 17 yards - so it appears quicker.

Obviously it was cranked up for the Stig

Not only is the barn only 17 yards, the lighting is pretty poor, so you find yourself picking the ball up a lot later.

you sure - that means if you crank it to 80mph over 17 yards then it's the same reaction time as over 100mph over 22 yards. ditto 60 = nearly 80 mph.

not that much, maybe 5mph more around 60-70 the difference is exaggerated as the speeds go up.
in all honesty faster than 80 in the barn is pointless for normal players.

Does that make it a pro bat now?

More special than a pro bat if the Stig has nodded his sign of approval!
Some say he only wears a helmet for show as his skull is sculptured from solid titanium. Some say that he doesn't need to wear a box for the same reason! All we know is that he's called the Stig and he approved of my scat!  8)

there is something about a good old fashioned classic shaped bat, no massive edges or massive concaving. but does the job better than most others. but sadly these type of bats are becoming less popular

i like the stigs set up, very simple.
