I picked up two of these type of bats yesterday from Hook services in a bat swap.

Truth is there two decent bats something I wanted to try and in truth it was a surreal expectiance swapping bats at the back of a service station with 10 bats outside the car people must have thought what the hell.

Always good to meet people from different walks of live brought together by cricket. 
I do like the bats impressed as good as 90 per cent of all bats. God my wife is sick of my inner bat nerd.

Decent sticks to be fair

You don't peel them off Alvaro, you rub them off with sandpaper don't you 

Sorry, couldn't resist!

Just like Warner?

[adb club cricketer]

Most of the discussion here is about the big aussie gn bats. However, there are the regular sized handcrafted range such as ultimate/elite/prestige etc. Are these SK made too and are they special? Anyone owned/used these other bats from Aussie handcrafted range?

[Tassie tiger]

I've got a Silver and used to have an Ultimate, believe the pressing on them is as good as my XXX. Correct preparation and they're as good as anything else.

[procricket]

I had a silver it was a not great but it was not really knocked in. The XXX9 i'm using is up there and potentially better than most bats i have used but only used it 3 times.

Also been using a Replica Warner with the word Replica engraved in which despite being 2/12 picks up a bit mentally. (It same as Smileys).

Fads on here they maybe but Mr Khranzbhuler and the team in Melbourne are hand crafting some very good bats.

One of my replicas is one of the small batch that Kranzbuhler made for Mueleman. I am thinking about using it this season. 2-12/2-13 but picks up lighter. 2-12/2-13 is still a substantial (dead) weight. I have played long innings with 2-11 but 2-12/2-13 is a new experience.
