Originally purchased for £599 and freshly refurbished by Gray Nicholls including new toe guard. I marginally prefer the classic look so thats why I got the bat restickered by GN in classic pro. This is a lighter bat weighing a fraction over 2lb 7oz making it a perfect bat for stylish touch players rather than brute hitting. It has a ridiculously good feel and a large middle. You will not get a better bat of its type. There is a slight mark on the middle where I originally hadn't knocked the bat in as well as I might have but GN have made this virtually invisible as part of their refurbishment. Any questions just ask. I want you to be 100% happy with your purchase.
