Here are the pics. The weight is less than 2.8 with thick Salix spiral grip, edge tape and shoe goo applied.

iv purchased a couple bats from RS recently and have to say the pressing is superb, both bats seem to have very long middles

[LEACHY48]

In my experience, and I've tried and seen a fair few RS bats. They are on the softer side, in so far as they require a fair amount more knocking in than some brands. But they absolutely fly. Their pressing definitely in my experience at least is not average. I'd go so far as to say their pressing is one of the best I've seen from an subcontinent brand. But others may disagree. That's the thing with bats, it is all personal preference and because wood is natural you might get a bad one 🤷‍♂️

You make me laugh

You probably compare to your gm 808 bargains from pdc

Naa i have owned enough bats over the years to make a fair objective comparison.

Side by side shots of the bat with the MRF

Is that an actual Virat Kohli bat? Tough to believe looking at its condition!

that is not an actual Virat Kohli bat. its a standard retail MRF Grand edition that my teammate picked up from a store in Delhi. pictures of an actual Virat Kohli bat were shared on a previous page of this topic. that is a different bat and actually got nothing to do with this particular transaction.

I like the way Mr Jolly has managed to keep the profile very full, much less concaved than the original MRF. Does this affect the pickup though, having more wood down towards the toe.

Not at all. Both bats pick up exactly the same

Ah..my bad Bro. The MRF bats which I have seen have a very thin handle which made them feel bottom heavy. Definitely needed atleast 2 grips. How is the handle on the RS replica bat?

Wish they invested some time and money on their stickers. They produce decent bats but the stickers leave a lot to desire.

The handle on the mrf was definitely not for me. I didn't like it at all but it wasn't for me so it was replicated exactly the same way. I kind of like the stickers. They're simple and classy. They look a lot better in person.

Do you have the face pic of actual kohli bat ?

The handle on my MRF, also from a store in Delhi, is also small and round. But it was easy to build up to oval with tape and padding, plus extra grip and now it is fine and picks up well.

The stickers and branded logo on the sides in my opinion are iconic and look really good in person. They've kept them the same for years. It's 'in your face' and also bizarre to be advertising a car tyre company. It could only happen in India...
