2.9, find it easier to play a wider range of shots with a marginally lighter bat

2.7 - 2.9
It allows good bat speed and a good amount of wood in the blade.

2.10 single GM control grip

Reason - simply I bought this on pick up and feel and weighed after I had paid. My bats range from 2.8 to 2.10 but all feel excellent to me hence owning them. I don't buy of pick a bat with a specific weight in mind.

I generally go for 2.9 if ordering of the internet. Current bat is an Aldred and he sneaks a bit of extra weight in them as he goes on pick up. I think my current one is around 2.11 but picks up close enough and it is very good.

Always gone for 2.8, with a couple of grips that's up to 2.11-2.11.5.  My B3 has been around that weight and suited me fine.

However, bought a B3 Mullanator, only a 2 stripe, pre season with a view of trying a club of a bat for T20 games.  With extra grip it weighs in at nearly 2.13.  Used in a Saturday game last week, scored 49 and it felt fantastic, pings superbly too.  Pick up of the higher middle makes it feel much lighter, so I really don't worry about the weight, just how it feels...

2.13/2.14

I was using 2.9/2.10 a few years back(used to be an opener) and when I got my current match bat, it felt lovely in the hands and I didn't have issues adjusting to the heavy weight. The thick edges gives me the psychological boost.Besides I bat at #5/6 and more often than not spinners/gentle medium bowlers would be operating.

My match bats are all 2lb 10 to 2lb 11 and all have mid-height middles and long blades. Why that weight? Because the bat I got on with best and scored the most runs was that weight!

2.6-2.7

Reason, lack of anything that would be considered upper body strength.

I am considering going up to 2.10 ish though because I believe the light weight is perhaps making my swing not as straight as good be.

Current Match bat is 2lb 9oz

However it is slowly dying on me. 3 years old now and cracks, Dents, Chipped wood everywhere. The middle still goes. So it will keep going until it snaps in my hands.
