I do this as a hobby and I do not make any money doing this or get paid to create the videos. So owners of the bats cover the return freight costs of bats sent in and I do not always accept a bat for a variety of reasons and do not run a bat knocking service as the time it takes to create content is considerable.

I recon that the sweet spot has to move up a little higher if it's a short blade long handle. Depending on how you hold your bat, for example I hold my bat towards the top of the handle. But definitely a belter. Kudos on the awesome review, you never disappoint.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Wow. Awesome comment. Yep, just like any bat you can change your hand position to extend the leverage. It's just a question of how comfortable you feel and whether adoption this is premeditated for the pitched up ball and the ramifications if the bowler pitches shorter or slower to confuse you. Definitely alters your normal impact point.

[@kartikpatel24]

@@CricketBatInfo I think and that's just from experience , that the adoption is as quick as 1 or 2 games max . I was shocked myself when hit a good length ball towards the cover for a boundary.

[@MichaelChunnz]

Another good one 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@CricketBatInfo]

Thanks Michael

Lovely vid. Where was the beer review? 😂🎥🏏🍺👍

[@CricketBatInfo]

I filmed these out of sync. Filming this week.

Big fan of spine all the way down to toe of bat.

[@CricketBatInfo]

Spine toe is classy. Like my logo 😉

[@liamgriffiths3911]

What is the reason for spine down the toe? It’s more weight where you don’t want it and surely doesn’t make much difference if you hit it there. Like the look of the bat pity I’m too tall for a short blade

[@barrydawson11]

Longevity and if you dig out a slightly full half volley, you're still getting a decent bit of wood behind the ball

[@CricketBatInfo]

Short form focused. Extends the hitting area a little lower in the blade and adds durability. Overall the bat is standard short-handle length, so if that’s what you use, your hands would be in the same vertical height.

[@dilhanthasamaratunga6800]

What’s the length of the handle ?

[@CricketBatInfo]

I'll ask the owner to measure. Bat has gone back to him

[@barrydawson11]

Shouldn't it be picking up much heavier as there's alot more weight in the bottom of the bat and less at the top now?

[@CricketBatInfo]

Doesn’t really work like that. Next time you’re in a shop do some comparisons in ranges like GM

[@barrydawson11]

@@CricketBatInfo yeah who needs basic physics and balance point theories and all 😅👍

[@ravinkrishnan3183]

@@barrydawson11 the handle is a lot lighter than the blade This bat has less blade and more handle so itll pick up better than a normal blade+handle

[@CricketBatInfo]

Sorry, I’m pretty sure I accurately described the pickup of the bat. I get understand your point.

[@barrydawson11]

@@ravinkrishnan3183 if the weight is further away, you feel it. Longer handle shorter blade with the weight further away means it will feel heavier. Put 5 kg on the end of a see/saw then put it on the middle... Newton's laws are sort of proven 😂 but yeah agree to disagree i suppose 😂🤷‍♂️
