Bat Weights
« on: December 28, 2010, 04:02:28 PM »
Im just wondering what everyone's bat weights are? Just interested to see what is the most commonly used bat weight is . . . . If you have multiple bats would be interesting to see the weight range.

I'll start the ball rolling

Bat 1 - 2.10lbs
Bat 2 - 2.11lbs
Bat 3 - 2.14lbs

When I was playing regularly I was still quite young so I would always go for something light, 2'8 maximum. Now I'm older and have bulked up a bit I will experiment with things up to 2'10. With modern bat making techniques giving good performance, I can't see much point in going any heavier.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Weighed bats

2lb 10oz

2lb 11oz

Thought I was about 2lb 9oz guy but bats weigh slightly more think feel is more important than specific weight.

2.8- SCAT
2.9- Mjolnir
2.11- Cadbury
2.12 -SCAT

bit of a range depending on what gets put in the bag....2.5 was just too light and timing went all to pot so went back to heavier! not used the light scat yet tho as not been knocked in fully so will be interested to see if it goes as well as the other

Bat no 1) 2.10
Bat no 2) 2.9

Always been comfortable at 2.10. A 2.8 seems to light and wafty, and anything heavier plays havoc with my moo-shot!
