Mix between the Aura and Xero. Weighs about 2lb7.5 , 40mm edges , 60mm spine , SH in Players grade.

That's a gorgeous shape and an incredible profile for the weight.

Whilst the Hunts oval handles are simply a work of art, they will happily do round if requested also.

They also can drill out about 2oz of wood from the splice downwards. This has no negative effect of the playing power of a bat but does affect the feel a little and the pickup. Also they sound a little different. For me not a negative, just to be taken into consideration when picking them up.

While their bats aren't 'new and improved' according to marketing, they provide both quality and value.

Just looking at the shape of this it is almost identical to the custom bat i had a few years ago from Talent cricket.

Do you know if Hunts make theirs?

I didn't request it. It was just there.

It would, of course, be opening a can of worms to point out  that there is actually no such thing as players grade willow?

Lets not start this one again - there's no universal grading system so Hunts, or any company, can call their willow whatever they like. Whilst I'd love to see an official grading system put in place it's virtually impossible.

Plenty of companies use "performance grade" which is the worst one for me - just a lazy way of selling off cheap willow for a premium price in the majority of cases.

@bigc92 Lovely bat, the Caerulex. I love everything about it. I'm using mine at the moment.
I thought 'Super Selected' denotes top-grade willow though, but you say you've one in grade 2?
