to be honest i hate all the bats were talking about call me traditionlist but i know who on this forum is winning in the advertising wars as the kids i saw today at nets were all talking about moongoose no matter whether he uses it or not it the biggest talked about thing in cricket equipment at the moment.

 

I agree, I much prefer "normal" bats. They're the best.

Really like the profile and stickers. Certainly stands out!
I am intrigued to know as to how you get 45+mm edges on most joker bats, must be more to it! I am sure I will get a chance to use one at some stage this year though, should be fun!

Theres nothing to it except for the thinner face mate, I think its something like each 1mm off the face adds 5mm to the edge, will work on any bat

Charlie are you bringing one of these thats knocked it to nets on the 25th? Can give one a blast so to speak then and see what the crack is may pursuade me into parting with the paper money if they go well.....thats if you accept monopoly format

Of course I will.  Monopoly money is fine.

I would have thought there would have been more difference in blade length given the size of the bat, but if the toes are lined up that's impressive.

i think i will keep my opinions to myself but if people want to  knock a brand then surely they must be able to back it up.

I have to say i am tempted as I'm in the market for a 'heavier' bat as my Laver and Fusions are 2'9 but this might just be the best of both worlds

Its the large JOKER letters all over the bat that is putting me off

M4TTC -  The Stickers aren't embossed buddy, take the freaking things off if they bother you that much!

yeah i think the front is ok, the top and bottom edges are fine and one of the joker letterings on back would look ok. I'd take of the edge jokers! and one of the back ones, dunno which though as leaving upside down one would be cool, but maybe look like i've just stuck it on wrong!

[peplow]

I'd also take off the website stickers at bottom of the back... then it would be good

Doesnt it tend to leave a shadow, markings on the bat?  Especially with so much lettering over it

Leo, you really should have a look at a bat before trying maths!!!

If the normal bat width is 108mm and you think the edge gets bigger by 5mm for each mm shaved that would make the spine height 280mm high with a standard edge of 30mm to start. I have a 41mm edged bat here and roughly would be 42mm with 2mm off each edge. I need to see the full profile clearly as shaving the edge which is a well known and common trick cannot generate 45mm edges. I think Charlie is playing it cool and has something else to reveal about the bat.

Procricket, I think you will find I was trying to calm SS down as he was quite excited about the difference in shapes earlier. He is not my puppet as my hand won't fit up his opening, I've tried.

[procricket]

i do not doubt it mike just sick of people putting others work down especially when to be fair there big boys compared with some of the dross served up.

as you know i sit on no fences

Indeed not, being a hobbit you may lean on one watching the world go by while smoking some fine Longbottom weed!!!!!!!!!!

[peplow]

Well i wouldn't buy one untill i knew exactly how it was produced to be that big (poor attempt to get info out of blackcat )
