Having looked around for a while I have settled on the following... . Hope it works with the photos as I'm never sure.
GN Vortex 5 star 2lb 10oz. I do like the profile but the pressing is very hard in the top third of the hitting area. Net bat.
Blank Bats Butterfly 2lb 11-12ish. Not sure any more, just know it feels right. Match bat.
Big Hitter 3lb. For fun.
And now with the other two, it gets more interesting. Adam from Neon had mentioned he'd entered two bats in this years AOC bat test. I thought I'd try my luck and ask if I could buy one. Surprising he said yes and sent me the photos. I called him evil because I couldn't decide which one so he let me have both. The profiles are slightly different but both weigh around 2lb 9,3oz with the blue one slightly heavier. They are sublime as you would expect. The pick-up and rebound is off the scale. Tapping a ball up, you know how much energy you've put in, the height to which it goes and how long it says in the air is on another level and this is all the way down the blade. Adam at Neon has made me a very happy man indeed.
Specs for pink grip are edges of 35mm and spine 60mm. Blue grip edges 34mm and spine 58mm. This says to me the bats have not been over-dried and should last.
