Yeah my point was mainly that people obsess over half Oz of scale weight, but never consider the weight of the gloves they also have to swing about. We should all use 2lbs 17oz bats and be done with it!

Wouldn't that be 3lb 1oz?

Crikey I really opened up a can of worms with this thread didnt I! 😂
Why ever did I think it would be just a discussion about handles versus thick edges. In proper CBF style weve gone full detail right up to the politics of cricket and the market strategies of the future. Brilliant! I love it! 🤣

Anyway, the lads at Serious have made a fun video showing off the DCS range.
I will just add, notice the thin handle comments….😬

Not shocked, I had my hands on a DSC over the winter and it was an absolute twiglet handle.

I take the point about the grips. I was assuming we were talking about bats made by sensible manufacturers who tend to make bats with sensible sized handles. I have noticed a few brands that have used some quite skinny handles, that tends to be one good way that I’d be put off that manufacturer.

I understand the point about how a well made bat that’s a bit heavier, say 2.10, can pick up like a 2.8. In my opinion that’s true for straight bat shots, but when it comes to a pull, hook, or cut the actual weight feels like it’s more significant.
