Looks nice but I don't like the profile. It looks weird at the shoulder from side on.

Looks nice though, hope you get runs

I personally love it, but i think the design is a tad marmite. You either love it or hate it! The willow is exceptional though, feels lovely when i finally middle it.

The pickup is also lovely, i can only assume the design helps to contribute to this, as there is tonnes of wood on the bat!

Looks like a massive wine bottle ;)

What are the edge sizes?

played against one of their sponsored players a few weeks ago, Aaron Onyon, he was using one against us. Also saw him use it in a t20 game. Wow... it goes like a train!

A guy who uses one at my club, James Thompson, scored 144 not out off 144 bals (including 14 sixes) in the Kent premier league last week with one of them!

One of the lads at my club is HUNG so I bought him the willowstix 'Python House' box. I got some info on their bats at the same time and the bats do luck lush.

I really like this bat and hope it plays well. Look forward to hearing more about this bat and other Willostix bats

Picked up my stick from Willostix this afternoon after getting them to freshen it up/refurb it. With a combination of playing on poor wet pitches / younger club members using orange and pink balls in nets my bat was looking a bit of a mess.

They've done a great job, it looks brand new. New white grip and new anti scuff as well. Here are some pics...







All i need to do now is add an anti-scuff / shoe goo to protect the toe
