Here you go dudes, two little monsters I picked up. Not ones for the clean-face brigade or the grains purists, but both of these were 'tres, tres-bien' on pick-up and very, very nicely thank you on the pingy-mallet test.
Obviously they also both have the chunky profiles that I require!
Bat 1) GN Scoop 2.9lbs, 37mm edges at widest point - lovely pick-up and lots of meat!
Bat 2) Asian-made Lam - 2.7lbs, 39mm edges at widest point (didn't think this would work as the lamination is a long way back on the blade, but it really does respond off the mallet, and it was at a very good price, so I thought I'd give it a go)
ps - Asad has an even larger Scoop with a cleaner face and still only 2.8 in weight. It's made from 'players willow' whatever that is. However it was out of my budget. The Hosk, however would've wetted his pants!!
