Pickup is an ounce lighter and very balanced. I would say that it picks up better than my 2-13 Kook Obscene, Aldred & B3 bats.

You would take the sander to it though @Northern monkey and take 5 or 6 ounces off it  ;)
Mind you, it would still be a pretty large bat at 2'8!!  :o

I think I'd take out a gym membership and man up a bit, to use that bat to its potential! Ha

Looks a skinny handle tho?
Could just be the camera angle?

For a Kranzbuhler bat, it has a very small or no bow. The blade is virtually straight.

It has a thin handle.

Compared to 50+ and XP80 this one has almost no bow. Here are the bow comparision pics.

Without scuff sheet, this bat is probably 2-12 and change.

Mine doesn't have a scuff sheet and it weighs 2-12.6, it is bigger but lighter than the GN Chris Lynn bat I got recently.

Thanks. I also have GN Velocity Players Choice & GN XXX LE on the way. Both are 2-9 and got 45mm edges. I will post a brief review on that.
