Well after 1 season, which equates to 8 or 9 innings this year, I have to say I am very happy with how this bat has performed.
Forward defensives have regularly bought me singles and even twos, and I don't mean because I am dropping the ball and running, the middle of this bat takes the ball away from fielders even without a follow through.
The biggest difference this bat has made to my game is being able to hit boundaries off the back foot with a vertical bat, particluarly through the off side a la Damien Martyn. The extensive sweet spot has allowed me just to time the ball which means my shape has been better and I have found the middle more often.
I would thoroughly recommend a Blank Bat for anyone looking to purchase ready for next season.
One negative this season, although probably being down to the pitches more than anything, is my lack of sixes. Last season I hit the most in my team whereas this campaign I think I've only managed one. So to help rectify this I felt it only wise to purchase this monster a few weeks back

Edges 40mm at the thickest point and toe 33mm at the middle. This will not be used outside this year, at present its had around 3 hours of knocking in, so will be doing a bit more over the winter to have it fit and firing for next April!
