Advantages: Cheap

Disadvantages: Heavy!

An English willow bat for £60 Wow I thought! I instantly purchased this bat and was very pleased when it arrived. The bat i recieved had 10 straight grains and weighed 2lb 10 which was quite heavy for me!
The pick up is quite good I believe, it will still take some time for it to reach maturity. I havent knocked it in properly, just a couple of 10 minute sessions.

I first used the bat in the nets and was amazed by the rebound qualities it just flew off the middle!
Pretty huge edges and spine. Probably the thickest bat I have seen. This bat goes against the theory that Asian bats are all edge and have no substancial middles.
I decided to use the bat in a match last week but unfortunatly I realised after a couple of overs that it was too heavy for me!
Overall:
I do feel the stickers are a bit bright and garish but overall the bat is a great bargain buy! If your looking for a net bat this is ideal but if you play a high level of cricket give it a miss!

Summary: A good net bat for a decent player
