Johan it was my match bat all of last year and got on with it fine until a 'veteran' of our club told me it was far too heavy for me. I thought about it and he was right, I used to be good at cuts and pulls and found I could no longer play them because of the bat. I used a 2.10 next game (T/20) and got 50 off 30 balls. 3 fours and 4 sixes, 3 of the sixes were pulls :)

I'll use it for nets and a couple of T/20's probably next season.

M&H Distinction: 2.10
M&H Harlequin: 2.9
GN: 2.11
LW Reserve: 2.11
Bradbury S Players: 2.10

Goin purely by dead weight, my ideal weight is 2.9. But I got up to 2.10/2.11 if the pick-up is light.

The only thing I am very fussy about is the handle shape and diameter (thickness)

I think that this is an interesting topic - I always thing of two weights with a bat - the naked weight and the dressed weight.

For a blank bat I would ideally go for around 2.9, which could be as much as 2.11 when dressed with stickers grip, toe guard, protective facing etc.

The SAF Genus i have was 2.11 naked and about 2.13 dressed.

Why would you want to weigh your set of scales Tim?
