My New Bat
« on: December 16, 2011, 05:36:05 PM »

 RNS Plain 2lb 8oz 35mm edges. Contemplating weather or not I should have some weight taken off at the toe and keep it, or sell it as it is.

I thought a 2lb 8oz would be light enough for me-due to a wrist injury. But having done some shadow batting I may need something even lighter

I wouldn't mess around with that one, best to sell and buy something else.

I wouldn't go much lighter than that mate.

Very nice profile as it is!

Ryan has suggested a counterbalance, so going to give that a try first. Have ordered one off the bay. I've already tried an extra grip, rolled up to the top of the handle. This has made a marked difference already, so I think the heavier counter balance may do the trick.

What have you ordered to use as a counter-balance?

aluminium adhesive tape
Being one of the least dense metals, aluminium adhesive tape won't be very effective. You'd be better off with lead adhesive tape.
