Looks like a belting bat!
Incredible size for such a light bat. I'm sure it's too light for you though mate ;)

It actually doesn't feel as light as I expected, I'm guessing you'd know someone who'd be more suited to it?!

What's the edge and spine heights as it hard to gauge from pictures. To me it doesn't look that big but then again I've never used a bat so light.

No idea, will get my tape out later and have a measure for you.

Vitas,

We had a couple of B&S bats around 2'5-2'6 this season, they were sold before I even unpacked them from the box properly to customers in store at the time. Hopefully we will get a few more this year.

If you meant bats used in international cricket at such a low price, hopefully not. I don't really want to see any damaged bats, especially not a B&S. But if the right scenarios come together to create the same situation again, I will post on the forum.

I currently have a couple of professional players bats in the shop. One has been fixed for a Sussex player but I suspect he will want this back at some point. The other is the bat of a former England player (it faced 2 balls after coming out of the wrapper in a charity game that I watched and robin played in) it might find its way onto the forum soon.

Surprised by the comments regarding the size of this bat, it isn't particularly imposing, it is only 2'5 after all.

Slightly off topic but what are the scales you've used in the photo earlier on in the thread? I've weighed this on my cheapo non-digital ones and it comes up as 2.7. I certainly don't trust mine but would like a set of accurate digital ones.

Beyond being Salter branded, i don't know what model they are. They are pretty accurate (i do test them with a bag of sugar every so often) and weren't overly expensive.

Measured it just for you d7bow, edge is 37mm, spine about 47mm and offset against the edges.
