The net session confirmed in my mind that this bat I have (ie particular SS Limited Edition) is one hell of a bat. I got the spec of LB/LH etc etc I wanted and that was the first step. Now the performance of willow on leather shown in the nets is as good as it gets for me. It is a pretty big bat and has a big sweet spot/area to match. Maybe that's why Kieron Pollard uses one? (He may not use a SS Limited Edition but the stickering looks a little alike?) You can really feel the ball compress into the face of the blade when you hit the ball and that feel is impressive. It's a bit like your mind appreciating the feel of your golf club hitting a ballata golf ball vs a cheap one. (Maybe that's not such a great analogy?). Anyway, it now has me asking a few questions about the other bats I've used/own. I wanted performance and I've got it from a AUD250 bat. First match is this Sunday if the weather holds out.
