Yes correct, due to a mailing error, is all being sorted... and packaged back up now which is why i oculdnt do bat justice in pics! Due to no natural light but did my best by taking millions woth and wothout flash!

Firstly i must thank the perosn at blame for the mistake, it has given me the chance to witness a £300+ cricket bat for nothing, and especially one that has not really been seen. I have snapped pics below and agin apologies for quality, in a rish and no daylight left with the bat being packaged up now to send onwards and probably upwards (cricketing ability wise!)

The bat weighs 2lb 12.5 exaclty (44.5 oz's) and has 11/12 grains, which arent perfectly straight but do the job for me! If this is a performance based bat then its not doing batd on the looks front. There is one blemish pictured, higher up the bat, it would probably be covered by stickers on most companies bats!!

The edges are 38mm at their largest point and i am a massive fan of the stickers, minimal classy and a gorgeous colour!!....not convinced on the pro handle, its nothing you couldnt yourself from what i see, maybe more than meets the eye though?

I obviously havent used it and havent even malleted it as didnt want to do anything to it that meant i may have to shell out big bucks haha!

enjoy people and any q's fire away!

Looks very similar to a Newbery GT with some tape on the handle.

Looks great and thanks for the clarification and pictures :)

Not really convinced by the "oversized cleft". Its 2.12.5 and has 38mm which we have witnessed in lighter bat from what forum brand owners have made.

How does that counter balance thing looks like from the top?

They can just use Lekka xtrax combi instead of this tactic for thick bottom ....

The counter balance just looks like the top of bat but black from top, slightly thicker than normal handle at top with m+h sticker as standard on top. Nothing speicla of different to the naked eye!

Its an imposing profile to look at but then probably should be at the wiehgt, i dont really know how 2lb 12's feel so cant comment on pick up!

Nope - don't get it.

Seriously wonky grains, sh*tty looking, wavy piece of heartwood - and all for at least £100 more than a fantastic, custom made bat.

don't make sense to me.

I think i am more of a fan of the distinction...

is this a reflection of the way the uk cricket market is going, less for your money, or more money for less (either or!)
