so i i thinking it basically a harrow with a long handle?

it is narrower and thicker than a standard so is it just a thicker harrow bat with the long handle???

Wow! The Joker is bigger than the MMi.

I think the best thing about it is, that you could go out to bat with a huge bat, but not get the sledging that I would imagine the mongoose would bring. I like the fact it looks like a normal bat and I genuinely don't think you could notice the fact that it is thinner than a normal sh bat.

The joker does seem to dwarf the MMi3, but how can it be from shaving the edges? It is thicker than the MMi3 across the whole face and has all that extra wood above it too. I see that the extra wood not only gives a bigger face but must balance the bat far better but how does it balance compared to the Impala?

Would love to try the Mongoose and the Joker out, just to satisfy my curiousity. I feel that they are both a bit gimmicky, and would have to see a bigger uptake in the number of pro's using this kind of bat before I could be convinced of their effectiveness.

Of course, 5 years ago I hated anything with a bow and big edges and was convinced I would stick to traditional bats - could these be the next evolution?

I think it's great to see how much this has gotten the forum talking and sparked debate amongst the kit geeks

This years radical ideas often end up in next years everyday life in some form or other. Thats how things evolve & move forward.
The thing I like about the Joker is I'm pretty sure I could bat with it from ball 1 of an innings against any bowler I've faced so far, but I couldn't with the 'Goose.

I prefer the Joker to the MMi but I'd have both of them. I still want a 'normal' bat though cos they're best

Rich - what weight is the MM1?

How old is the MMi3?

slogger02 · « **Reply #294 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:08:23 PM »

i think thats the mongoose i sold him so weighs about 2.10 or so and i suppose it must be 6 months old?

Tom · « **Reply #295 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:11:42 PM »

Ahh ok, that sounds about right as it's the 09 stickers and shape.

Yer the mmi is the one i bought from Slogger02 around 3 - 4 months back ? i will see what my machine weighs it at as I'm pretty sure it don't work so if Slogger02 is right at 2lb 10oz then i can possibly work out the weight of the Joker.

You wont be disappointed.
