Ace
No idea on how many grains it had
Grade 2
Cost me 110
lasted about four seasons of very hard use
Performance wise, it was an absolute gun.
Saw enough people use ace bats to know,Alf didn't do,bad performing bats

Brand: Kookaburra Beast
Grains: About 11 I think
Grade: Think it was top end
Price: £60 as it was a repair and I bought it from a friend who worked there, absolutely flew, loved the shape.

Not sure what current bat shape replicates this, would love another as good as that was

was that the carbon one ? had a mate who was a top league bat who had one and he was gutted when his died !

Two of them:

Brand: Hunts Steelback 3 *
Grains: About 8
Grade: G3?
Price: �85 from Romida - it's still being used by my mate and still goes well.

Brand: RNS Larsons
Grains: About 7
Grade: G1 blank
Price: 100 from Brimblemort - great bat and made that pistol-crack noise when you hit it. Sold it to someone on here in a bit of a battered state.

Now it's my Hits Hard.

Brand: CA
Grains: 6-7
Grade: was the white gold so I think meant to be grade 2, but was probably 3/4 on looks.
Price: about 90 quid from AJ Sports i think.
Condition: Probably just about usable but a crack through the back has killed the response.
