I too have a Mullanator, albeit a 2.11 - given that's dwarfing yours, it's an absolute beast.

Captain Caveman carried something similar I think...

Now that's a mans bat! Very nice,  a hundred quid in customs charges is a bit of a dampener! It's worth it though I guess to get something as big as that. I'm glad it's pressed a bit firmer than you expected, you wouldn't want it to be so soft that it wouldn't last long!

My laver and wood was 25 quid on a 235 pound bat. Was hoping for something similar!!

Been talking to grays on Twitter r.e it, as there batmaker says it will be overdried and weak. But compared to my malik and ca. It's doesnt look or feel dry at all.

The small handle is annoying me at the moment though, a shame it be January until I get to use it!

I was talking to Marcus after he was at the Kent game on Matts stall. He said he was talking to warner and had a look at a few of his bats. Warner reckoned he got a batch at a time and only maybe 25% survived!

It's good that it doesn't feel too dry, hopefully you've got a really low density cleft that hasn't needed to be over dried!

At least you've got a couple of months to experiment with some tape and get the handle how you want it, if it was 40 quid you'd be happy with the customs but I bet a hundred felt like they'd taken your eyes out!

Amazing! That isn't a bat it's a broadsword or perhaps a caveman's club. The grains look brilliant as well. I hope it performs as well as it looks. An absolute monster. Keep us informed on the bats progress.

Just putting my grip set up on this and it's gets interesting underneath.




An inch of twine and then some medical tape(or whatever it is)

The Warner Legend I have has exactly the same tape and twine on the handle although mine is a full length handle. I put a double grip on it and it has improved the pick up even more! The only down-side I can see at the moment, after using it in 6 or so games is that it destroys whatever little  technique I had as I want to hit everything over the top... Opened in the first game last Sat and faced a nice in-swinger at pace in the first over: drove/flicked it over mid on/wicket for an 70 meter 6... Love this bat!!!!!

Up until you said that, I just realised I never actually looked at the bow.



The pic makes it look less insane than it is. Big bow!!

@rich041187 being an opener that's only ever made drinks once. I doubt I could bat the full 46 and just block.

Whether it's over dried or not that is a stonking bat. I can't seem to find any for sale at kingsgrove, I presume you can no longer buy them?

When I enquires I was told to be quick, as kings grove only had 2 left in stock and would not recieve anymore again. Last one must have gone.

Muelamans and gccc I believe had stock but never entertained my request for a delivery quote, where as kingsgrove service was pretty good.
