First net with it tonight...only used it against the bowling machine...found the substantial middle with ease...felt great!
Out of interest,at what sort of speeds do others have the bowling machine set?

MK4 relates to the way B&S grade their willow after receiving it from JS Wright.

A Supreme is the best bat, and has MK5 on the sticker, similar to '5 star willow' seen on other top end bats. Fireblades (whilst still grade 1) are graded as MK4, and it goes down the range with the Fireball (i think) at MK3 etc.

Fireblades are back in stock, but not for long!

This is just over 2'8 and has sold already, what a belter!






This one is 2'7 dead on, and whilst it isn't grainy, it's absolutely huge for the weight, and taps up AMAZINGLY





I don't expect the 2'7 to be around for long, so we've got more on the way.

Not being a total grain nutter the 2-7 gets my vote. Great looking bat.

After net number two (admittedly did not get to face as many balls as I would have liked...)...can report back that this bat goes!!
Can see many boundaries being both reached and cleared over the coming seasons!  8)

More Fireblade's have landed.

If you want one, you'll need to move fast, one of these is already gone.

2'7 - 2'10 are the available weights.
