Just recalibrate the scales so that nobody knows that it actually weight 3lb 2oz!  ;)
Only kidding -it is really 2lb 10.5oz so a lot of bat for the lb!
And another bat that I will have fun in the nets with during the long, chilly winter evenings!

Pete, I am tempted to come to a net session, To see all these bats in the flesh,

Mike does seem to have quality willow as like Cover-Drive says, most of his bats have very large profiles for the weight. Another cracker there Pete and the stickers are growing on me!

I have to admit that this bat picks up beautifully too!
A number of people have looked at this bat, and picked it up. And it's funny to watch their face as they see just how beautifully balanced the pick-up is!
Every one of Mikes bats I have are stonkingly good!
Although there are other beauties in my collection too, most of which will follow!  8)

Well - you never know fella! I have a couple of the colts more than willing to come and test and review some bats.
So there may be willing to throw an invite or two out.
I must admit that I do seem to have some pretty decent unused bats that I still need to review!  8)

Somewhere around that amount.
Was sorting just some of the bats out over the weekend and took some pics:

This is only a few of them.
Not quite sure how I accumalated so many bats.
When I look at them, most are decent bats, so am quite pleased with the overall quality!  :D
