@smilley792, lovely profile on all bats. The GN Warner bat has no edge stamp?

One wasn't great to start with, but they were sanded out during it's clean up.

To be fair unless you are fortunate enough to play on billard table outfields and well prepared batting tracks as opposed to under prepared council tracks with rabbit holes in the outfield anything WG Grace used to use dont cut the mustard.
So most of us if there is any advantage at all-take it

That Warner of Chris is mental not seen one as big and that was a actual Warner

Pick up on that bay is special and it is truely a freak of nature.

Great bat

What's big about that Warner you serious pal it massive and picks up mental.

Just take people word for it that bat is special with no gimmicks just a monster

I couldn't agree more!!!!!!

People should see the ground conditions where we play!! Grass as high as 5 to 6. Inches. Slow outfields. Uneven fields. You name it. This whole light/little bat malarkey will work for pros with their manicured golf-course like fields but we clubbies need help! I will happily take it. Thank you! More please!

How much use is a high middle Aus monster in the UK when invariably the bounce is pretty low? Do these Aus GN's gain weight in the UK?

It hasnt gained weight.

I scored plenty of runs with it on slow low wickets. It drives the ball beautifully from down low on the blade.
The high wood placement just makes it pick up ridicolously well.

Despite being a front foot bully, I much prefer the weight higher up the blade these days.

If you used the cric tech sheets most on here would be surprised how high on the bat you hit the ball

I play on a low deck but don't use a low middle as I hit on top of the bounce

Great looking collection and nothing wrong with junk in the trunk

[Gurujames]

I agree. Our track is dead low, but some away tracks have good bounce. Also, just because the meat is a few inches higher doesn't mean the bat has nothing lower.
Try a bat with a high middle, then a mid middle and you may be surprised.

[Gurujames]

Just get an English made bat with a high middle. There's a fair choice out there

[jwebber86]

these bats look amazing certainly my kind of shape and weight.

i'll have to sort my collection for  next season out and see how it compares
