Advantages: willow

Disadvantages: oval handle

I purchased this bat 4 months ago and its probably the best i have owned.
The willow is top notch - it has 10 ruler straight grains and a little bit of heatwood on the outside edge. The stickers look very classy and the yellow grip looks perfect.
THe bat weighs about 2lb 8 but it piks up much lighter.
The bat is ideal for an opening bats man like me as it has a light pickup which is perfect for facing the quick bowler.

The bat has a slight bow but is fairly straight meaning its perfect for driving the opening bowlers.
I would also reccomend this bat for lower order batsman as it has a large sweet spot allowing easy connection with the ball.
The only disadvantage is the handle being of an oval shape which inhibits my natural grip although some batsman find this benificial, but I dont!

Summary: A great bat ideal for all players
