I'd love to see some pictures of their bats, I believe they're made by one of the forum sponsors, can't remember which.

On another note I think the concept is an absolutely outstanding idea, and quite possibly on of the best investments most of us on the forum will ever make!

As promised!











She picks up like a 2.9 and naturally goes well in the nets! The stickers are awesome - it'll be hard to miss when I walk out to the crease!

Love it!  :D
And my preferred weight.....
This would have been a serious contender had I known about it before purchasing my B & S Fireblade...which I am delighted with anyway....
If only I was one of those lucky people that could afford/justify a number of quality bats... >:(

Wasn't aware that Blackcat made bats themselves?
