Hunts Turbo was the original. They then started doing it on all their bats. They may still do, although much of their own brand range is thought to be imported.

This is the problem when Instagram/social media or the likes of CBF declare something to be the new must have. Causes issues for retailers and people wasting their time.

I've probably lost days of my life dealing with people looking for 45mm splice measurement and 20mm shoulders, as then they won't get shoulder damage. Or some other similar very questionable request 😆

Tell me more about this bat you have... and you have managed to keep it to 2.8... 🤣
