No you can't.

If you say so.

If you say so.

2lb 8.5oz at those dimensions? Surely that's impossible even if you dry to 0% moisture content by weight? (Assuming Smileys is a light cleft, and at 10% moisture content)

[smilley792]

If you say so.

Seeing as he works in one of the few shops that got to sell this very rare edition then yes. He says so.


But then everyone knows(except yourself it seems) your waffling on about the standard of the shelf kaboom.

You can get them in lighter weights mine is 2lb 8 1/2 ounces.

Please can you post some pictures of your full profile, 2lb8.5 bat with 55mm edges and a 65mm spine?
Preferably some that confirm these dimensions and one of it on the scales...

Hi Cam
Can't take any pics as I dont have a camera but the edges are 40 mil and the spine 61 mil

@Seniorplayer

Basically Alan, they're talking about a replica of Warners bat with same edge, spine etc etc.  You can buy lighter GN Kabooms but not with the same specs as Warners.

[smilley792]

Anyway. Misunderstandings(or whatever this is) aside.


The Warner has had a small edged replica arrive.




It's obviously not a replica of this, but it's small edged counter part.
Spine is impressive, the Middle seems a few mm lower. And there is a lack of bow compared to the gray nics version.


Still an impressive bat non the less.

Ah
Thanks Andy.

So it's arrived. Or more accurately I picked it up and paid the extortionate customs charge.

306 for bat with the exchange rate.
94.43 in charges!!!!!! I got stung.


On arrival. The packaging could have been better, cardboard box is a tad larger than the bat, and inside it had one bubble wrap bag. You could hear the bat rattle and move as I took it to the car.

There is damage! Thankfully just on the toe, but it's still damage(I'm ignoring the nick I've just caused.




Anyway, the bats here it's is.













One thing I have noticed is that it's a ssh handle not a short handle. Which may cause issues.



Ping is pretty good(kingsgrove knocked it in) and it doesn't feel soft, feels quite normal on that front.

It picks up well. Very well, better than the 3 bats it's pictured with.

Colossus is 2.14
Nemesis 2.12.5
Mullanator 2.13


So who's gonna guess on its actual weight??

Seems to be a lot of variation in these bats. I just saw one that had 5 semi straight grains. Still classified as "players grade"

The spiel I read when ordering, said it was willow chosen for size and performance, so blemishes will be present.

I'm not that fussed on looks, but it was a pleasant surprise that mine matched my normal criteri, heartwood inside edge and many grains.

GCCC have just released a video of the Warner spec bat:

@smilley792 Just out of interest have you re weighed the Warner bat? Just wondering if it's put on any weight, as bats from laver put on 2-3oz do bats from Australia do similar.

[smilley792]

It weighs a smidge on over 3lb currently.

With the edition of an octopus grip, scuff sheet and taped toe. I'd say that's about right. So no it's not put any weight on.

My Warner is the best bat I will ever get, you can't beat it. Pings everywhere (unless you hit the toe of the toe if you know what I mean)
