If one was in a devious mood (which i am) then one might suggest the two bats, but for stickers, are the same bat from the same maker, the weight thing is likely to be marketing from the respective brands flogging them.

Nah I've seen both the blitz and the spirit in flesh and 1- the profiles are different and 2- the blitz only goes in weights 2.10 and up yet the spirit goes down to 2.7

A Newbery GT 5 star from Soulman, I started well, raced to 45 within 8 overs and struggled to 35th over for the hundred. I was stupid enough to sell the bat and regret it to this day. :(

GM Maxi 909, a few years old now but still scoring runs. 100* off 108 balls. Needed two off the final ball, so only just made it! The photo is from the Phil Hughes memorial #putoutyourbats trend

A Slazenger SX Elite Pro that I got off eBay for a rediculous amount. Bought all 8 the guy had, kept the best and sold the others. In hindsight, I'm a bit gutted I didn't keep it as a momento

I have that same feeling.. and i bet most other bat lovers (gear lovers) have that same feeling if they binned or sold it..

Managed to get my first century when I was playing at junior level using a M&H harlequin about 7 years ago. That bat was a real beaut.
