Hi guys,
I'm considered the bat expert at my club, so I've been given the task of finding a bat for two of my mates.
One is a teeny little guy, currently uses a size 5 Slazenger bat. I think it was a V900, it was supposed to be grade 4, but he ended up with a grade 2. It had little scoops either side of the spine to give the appearance of bigger edges and lighter weight.
He needs a Harrow bat, and his budget is AU$200, delivered to Melbourne. He wants something that is 2.5, but picks up lighter. Lightweight is key, but because he's a little guy, he needs something with a bit of oomph behind it as well. So something with the profile of the Screaming Cat Series 2 or 4, with a high middle, nice edges, a light weight and pick up.
The other is a big guy, currently uses a Short Handle Gray Nicolls Predator 3 Star. He wants a lowish middle, with a lot of power behind it. He wants a 2.8 or 2.9, that picks up lighter, with big edges. His budget is AU$250, delivered to Melbourne.
I need suggestions quickly, they're going to order this week.
Thanks
