Grains look nice, those edges are very square though! I'd be afraid of them cracking personally

Hows this!

[Neon Cricket]

Where's the splice?? Is it a Mongoose?

Looks nice either way!

[400notout]

Yeah its a Mongoose! Something weirdly nicer about the fact it doesn't have a splice!

The willow looks really nice and clean.

Where did you pick that bat up from as it looks a stunner

That Ihsan with 24 grains is a stunner and pings crazy. I have a reliable supplier in Pakistan . He keeps sending me good stuff like this.

All these bats with 20+ grains look like Grade 2 to me. I think they look slightly wrong. 10-20 dead straight is much nicer!

I agree.
Separately they will also be from quite near the top of old trees (you can assume this as the grains on a bat get narrower the higher up the trunk of the tree you go and the number of grains give an indication of age) as a result the chances of them breaking from storm damage are really high.

Still they will be go-ers...

for me 9 to 12 looks best.
