Saw this on the gccc YouTube channel. Can't imagine these would be any lighter than 2lb12oz's.

$899 AUD which once you were to add import/delivery etc I guess would amount to well over £500. What?

The tax that came of my Warner was more than delivery, so was only 300 before the customs man robbed me.......

I imagine @procricket B3 could sort something out in a similar profile and I did challenge @Red Ink Cricket to have a go.

Wonder how long that bat would last and if they would replace it if it cracks within the year

Bat looks impressive no doubt, and I definitely want it....but I like how in the video he phrased the thin handle as a big plus, as it "allows you to double grip". Marketing genius.

Unless JS Wright changes their cleft dimensions, very few companies will be able to do it. You basically need cleft suppliers outside of JS Wright, which is a very small percentage of the market.
