Weight: 2.14

Reason: Bat feels lovely in the hands and I believe a heavier bat helps hit the ball further for those of us who aren't blessed with perfect timing.

2.11 with two grips, scuff sheet. 

I had the bat copied that my brother had which felt perfect for me in terms of pick up.  I was suprised by the weight the copied bat came out at as I would usually look for something in 2.8 / 2.9 region but it just feels right to me.

Just goes to show, feel over weight.

2.7

Reason: I play late and play the cut and hook, so need a light bat.

Here is the hot tip: Aussie legend Dougie Walters who blasted test match centuries in a session THREE times, did so with bats weighing 2.3! He confirmed it in a TV interview recently.

Remember, he scored at a cracking rate on grounds that mostly did not have boundary ropes.
