US225 for the Bat + US40 Freight to Australia + I had to pay some Bank Transfer Fees & US Currency Conversion Charges

Amazing if it does have 40mm edges, even the bats SS make for test player aren't that big.

[SillyShilly]

It may have a tiny, almosy unrecognisable spine to make up for the huge edges - would like to see pictures of the bat as it sounds to good to be true......we all know SS have got their game together but this sounds beyond the reaches of even the most skilled podshaver.

The actual weight of the SS bat I bought has been on my mind as to what it really is, keeping in mind how light it feels/picks up. The bat has been picked up by about 12 people now (aged 16 to 45) and they all can't believe the size and how light it is and have been asking me how much it actually weighs. Most have been guessing something between 2lb 7ozs-2lb 8ozs. Had it weighed at Greg Chappell Cricket Centre this afternoon and it comes in at 2lb 9 and 1/8th ozs. Fooled me and pretty much everyone else.

Your bat will be 2lb7oz without the grip and toe guard. Most companies assume that the weight requested is for the nude bat (without the stickers, toe guard and grip). It is always best to mention what weight you want with all sundries put on the bat.

However, if it picks-up like the way you want it to, then you should not be bothered.

I recently ordered a CA from The Sports HQ. I asked for a 2.9 bat. The bat that was sent to me had a sticker on the edge saying 2lb9oz but in the scale the bat weighted 2lb11.5oz!!!

[cd0070]

I think what Yash is trying to say is that his bat without stickers and grips was probably close to 2.9 but with the grip and stickers and toe guard it was 2.11.5..

[yvk3103]

Sports HQ are not specialist cricket retailers like Owzat or VKS etc. etc. they just get stuff in and sell it without even making an effort to add some value buy giving advise or weighing the bats before sending.

The guy whom I spoke to at Sports HQ could not even explain what the diff in willow was for the 8000, 10000, 12000.....

There is no question about hiding the truth as here. I have had bats made from UK bat makers and had the same issue. Most batmakes while making custom bats would assume that the weight you mentioned is for the bat itself without the sundries on it....
