If what we were told about the DMX process was correct, then shouldn't they all be the same size?
yeah I just meant huge for the weight

GM bats - Made in UK are mostly oval handle ones. I have seen GM bats (licensed to make in india) which sport round handles. But i believe those are restricted for sales in India & sub-continent only.

As I ordered first you may not have had an email yet, but I just received one from them saying delivery will be in 4 weeks and giving me the option to cancel which I declined. So looks like the price and the bat will be honoured and tbf I'm quite happy to wait 4 weeks as its a bit of a bargain.

Grains do look nice and straight on that though, can't go wrong for £117 by the looks of it!
