Good idea! We'll need to book the net for 3 hours but I can bring a dozen bats - even bring some light 'girly' bats for you Dave!  ;)
Fattus uses a light bat but that's cos he's a classy touch player!
Will be a good net!

They seem to have done a half decent job of knocking in as no denting when I hit with mallet

That is a fabulous looking bat & I think the green livery somehow doesn't make the stickers too much. A bargain @ £250.

Uhmm I see but don't think it is fully knocked as seam marks were quite visible and prominent.

Still some to do and play it in properly but seems about 50%~60% done I'd say which is a relief

Still can't get over the sheer amount of wood in the blade
