Nearly everyone who's used one has fell in love with it and it's great fun to use. Seems hits the ball further than a normal bat.

are u all already getting baddgers about sponsorship?

[Tom]

Yes and the answer is no unless you're a professional player playing 1st XI county or above.

[Apple]

i was just wondering, so are alot of pros taking it on board?

[Apple]

cool, not sure if i would like one, seems abit sticky to me

[Tom]

Sticky?

[Apple]

yeah, not for me

[aidy1098]

it got an awful review in all out cricket (AUG), i was expecting better, in my opinion this company wont last it is just a phase and will struggle to keep operating

[Apple]

felt one at lords today, felt very diffrent

[Tom]

Which bat did you feel Apple? Every player I've spoken too along with the coaches have said it feels no diff.

Where/when did you see it @ Lords too? Was it in the shop there?

It definately does not feel the same at all, the one i picked up felt very heavy and it was only a 2.8. Must be due to all the weight being so low down, i reckon it felt like a normal 2.11/2.12

[Tom]

In my view it picks up like a toe-heavy bat, but it doesn't feel un-bat like. It still picks up the same as a bat.

Do you think it picks up differently?

Hi this may helphttp://www.psychometric-success.com/aptitude-tests/mechanical-reasoning-tests-levers.htm

Yep that's correct, it's basically like having a bottom heavy bat. What I mean by it picks up the same is that it doesn't feel totally different to a conventional cricket bat. If you closed your eyes and picked up a Mongoose you wouldn't know it was one, we have done that with players.

It's in a couple of shops now, so feel free to go and have a look and swing with one.

I suppose your right tom, does feel like a toe heavy bat, quite like an m and h solution. Doesnt help that ive been using a fusion all year which picks up very well, so would make it feel heavier.

I had a quick swing with it and it did definately go well, seemed to be able to generate alot of bat speed.

I think the main issue is that they cost alot considering that you wouldnt want to use it most of the time. Only when hitting out and and in 20/20's. Correct me if im wrong. I think if you did a cheaper version, about 120 quid it would really take off.
