Got my mongoose cor3 of slogger on forum. It weighs 2lb 10 but picks up much lighter. Grains are straight and got a strip of heartwood down outside edge. I was slightly skeptical (sp???) about mongoose and their technology but i thought i'd give them a go. The difference the spliceless technology makes it amazing, literally the whole bat pings which is very good for performance as mis hits seem much rarer, the middle seems stupidly huge!! I know its not new technology but the shorter blade makes the bat excellent too, the edges are huge! the shoulders are thick and edges are about 35mm from the middle right down to the toe so its a very solid looking bat which gives you confidence i find when playing shots (digging out yorkers, driving almost yorkers etc) that you think could crack normal bats! The handle is chunkier around the bottom where the slice is in it but this is excellent for gripping the bat, as i hold it lower i have no need for extra grips on it (i was worried as i have small hands but its perfect). My bat speed is much quicker with the mongoose and this may sound stupid but it makes me think i'm gonna bat better with a better bat and as batting is very psychological its good. I honestly would recommend it to anyone, you wont regret it! Also i think mongoose have got it spot on with the stickers, they are classy, stylish and look brilliant. (not that this matter about the bat) Any more info wanted just ask away...
I cannot comment on taking a whack on the handle but i'm guessing it would be fine.
