That's massive. Something unique and special.
These bats for sure are leading to willow shortage  ;)

This may just be an optical illusion..but how small are the edges? 25mm?

The meat looks monstrous !!

I've no idea about the edges. I don't tend to measure them as I like to hit with the middle.... ;)

Wow, that's a ridiculous bat! I hope GN bring this model to the UK.

Never mind slow over rates, ball tampering, player dissent or corruption, let's sort out this big bat problem!

Would this even fit into the bat sleeve found in duffles??

I have to admit that it reminds me a lot of the first gen M&H Distinction, when that first appeared, but it seems much, much bigger than any of those were. It is an amazing feeling to walk out to the middle and have the keeper wide eyed at the size of the bat you are wielding!

Would this even fit into the bat sleeve found in duffles??
It just about fits into the Slazenger Wheeled duffle bat sleeves - they have quite a bit of room. It has no chance of fitting the Ton backpack I have. My Dynadrive and B3 1271-mod hardly fit in those and they are 2/3rds the size.

So only one question - how on earth are you going to maintain your sanity having that weapon in the house during the off season?

Having used a Warner edition and B3 Pepsi all last summer, its quite a nice feeling to walk out to the middle and have the keeper give a bit of lip about the size of your bat only to have him a few overs later politely enquire as to where i got it and comment on how well it goes...  :D

@tim2000s did you have to pay any import duty on it?

Sadly, yes, but worth every penny.
