Sounds like a quality player lol, great review though and not the normal crap you read on most reviews.

[roco]

Fantastic review did you ever get a joker mike as think I read you had one coming

[Talisman]

I certainly do have one, I have to agree with Rich, great review and some very good points made in there, the Joker sledging, the far better pick up and balance than the Mongoose MMI and the ability to hit all shots a lot further. I also agree it is not going to suit everyone but certainly refreshing to see a bat that has had time spent on it rather than money to boost its profile.

[Tom]

You like your digs Mike

Oh well, it's a product with your involvement and you're bound to rate it. Same as I do with he MMi3.

[roco]

So do you use it in matches among your plethera of other bats or just when you want to hit out

[Howzat]

I havn't used mine yet, may well crack it out on thursday 20/20. Get my eye in with the puma then call for the Joker!

[Talisman]

Ahhh Tomgoose, you love them really, all news is good news and all that. I thought you might put some nice pic's of Vaas hitting his PB yesterday using a "Mongoose"?

roco, not actually used it in a match, not troubling the scorebook much this season but have to use it this Wednesday as match bat needs a glue up.

Leo, you are a tart!!!, who do you think you are, Hayden? surely you would use a 20/20 designed bat from the start?

[roco]

That's cool I'm sure you will let us all know how it goes

Ps yours is going down well had the best comment yet other day one of the old boys came to watch and said it was bigger sideways than his was widthwise when he played lol

[Talisman]

I take it you are referring to the bat, in which case I hope you are doing it justice.

[roco]

Not at the min as having worst start to a season for 7 years but just getting some good balls but a nice 67 other week with a few effortless 6's

[Watsontotty]

Used mine to good effect on Saturday with a big hitting 48, mind you we were in trouble a bit so the first 40 balls saw only 4 runs coming as i didn't want to get out early and risk us being all out cheaply. Got going later though with 3 x 6 and 5 x 4.

[roco]

What's your grip like on the joker do you hold it the same distance from the bottom of the handle or the same distance from top of handle due to the longer handle

[Watsontotty]

I hold it pretty much the same as i do a normal length bat, i hold a normal bat with both hands at the top on the handle so i marked the grip of the joker to make my grip the same.

[Talisman]

I do think the 2 tone Mongoose grip is very good as it gives you a line for your hands.

Tom, that was praise........
