Not a fan of that type of bat with that amount of heartwood, not that very long ago bat makers wouldn't make top end bats out of this type of willow and would down grade them considerably. How times have changed although my opinions have not so i wouldn't buy any bat of this type from any maker but others tend to love them but im not sure if they have used them before.

I agree that it's funny how heartwood has changed from being a marked down willow to not being. Wonder how much of that is down to certain pro's using a lot of heartwood bats such as Ponting.

I have a bat that is very much heartwood and it's certainly the best performing bat I have had albeit possibly a shorter life, so I would certainly consider a heartwood bat for my next stick.

Just wanted to say that I got the 30 grainer (as stated earlier) and its a stunner!!  :D
If Matt has another of these clefts, then I would recommend anyone after a belter of a match bat to look at this one!
The quality finish is superb, so start raiding those piggy banks chaps!
