Matthew Wade's bat.
This was unreal. Short blade long handle set up. honestly felt about 2.7lb
So much wood in this bat all over the blade. Thick right through the bat.

A guy who we played against had it, he in turn got it from Mitchell Santner whos brother played in this side as well. Santner who is sponsored by NB probably just asked him for one. I actually think Wade probably got this one from Root in the Ashes and then gave it to Santner in the NZ/OZ series played last Xmas.

Dead weight? Sorry didn't have my scales with me. It picked up very light.

Wades bats always look big and a nice shape on the telly. Nice work @potzy248

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

Some more  :D
Travis Heads bat. Found this on Gumtree. A local pawn shop was selling it, they didn't know what they had in their possession. Pretty much took over the Watson shape from GM. Not a huge bat but big enough, full profile and thick shoulders 2.9lb. This one has a very oval bottom handle which is different from a Travis Head PE I have.

Dean Brownlie's (Ex NZ player) bat. This was in for repairs so took some photos of it while it was in. Shorter blade long handle set up. Very big bat over all. Same shape as the Vince I would say apart from the short blade (Same as Pope maybe?). 2.10lb.

Alex Lees bat. Left it here when he was playing in NZ a couple of years ago (sorry for the stickers  :( ). This is one of my favourite shapes. Similar to the Vince/Stokes profile but with huge shoulders. Weighs 2.10lb.

Shane Watson PE. Just thought I would put this in here because it is my all time favourite shape. Simply amazing bat.

Cheers,

@potzy248 , I hate you. :D

How are you landing these bats? Do you spend your socially isolated days hunting for bats online?

Haha,

Na mate been quiet over the lockdown. The Wade one is from back in Cricket Season and is not mine.

The others, I get a few in to fix as part of a side hobby I do.

And yes I do look online a lot for special bats.

What would you say is a super short blade? 1 inch less, more?

^ I am interested in this as well, what's the overall length of this blade? I have used a 6-3 configuration and it is awesome!

Well I have a shorter blade long handle set up on the GM Neon which is the normal set up for shorter blade. This one was definitely shorter than that and almost reminded me of a Mongoose Cor 3 size but much larger in terms of wood behind it. I don't have it to measure but I would say at least 2cm shorter if not a bit more.

@potzy248 , take a look at this. The shortest bat is my 6-3 configuration bat.
