I am not a grain man Mike and my main criteria chosing a bat is that the pick up and How soft it is pressed.
I don't think my comments were unfair as he has previously wrote similar comments about another of my bat. I have been posting here for many years and I would take Constructive feedback from someone who has good knowledge about Cricket bats.
It is the way he writes about other peoples equipment. Plz feel free and come and have a look and feel the bat. It is at the shop.
