4 Pound Cricket Bat

Well in Pakistan, I bought cricket bats for 100 rupees! :))

But I presume you mean bats weighing 4 pounds right?
 
Apparently Paul Collingwood uses a 4 pound bat when practicing in the nets.

Personally it's ridiculous to even think of using such a heavy bat - hitting any decent quick bowler will be impossible.

Not really for u yes not for me beside if u the with 4 pound bat it will give you better hitting power than 2 - 3 pound bats it so thick so good when you srike with it

beside Sachin use 3 pound bat and it not thgat heavy by the way

aand if you got the muscle then you can hit a fast bowler with 4 pound bats

they are made of two clefts of wood i believe. however if you think you will pick one up and smash away, thats not quite the case, it wouldn't be hard for a batsmen to gain the strength to swing a 4lb bat, but over the long run it would really damage your arms and harm your technique.

colingwood uses it so he can build strength to swing a regular bat faster as prep for ipl games. you would lose so much manouverability from having a four pound bat, it would be really hard to hit shots properly.

i play tennis quite a bit, and i usually play with a 300g racket, but i played with a 420g racket once, after half hour my arm felt so tired, i could barely hit any shots correctly.

if a 4lb bat really was a superior hitting tool than a high 2lb bat, every player in t20 would be using heavier bats. The key is light bats, with very good ping and sweet spot.

Hmm good one but bats man use heavier bats to hit the ball some how and for some reaseon heavier basts are very thick like Gray Nichlos Fusion Ultra Thick one and i held one one its not bad at all i can time the ball well with it was close to 4 pound but not to heavy for your arm its just to thick a thick bat is always beter tan a puny one thickeness ones Like i said their might be heavy but if you got the muscle then you can swing easy simple as that but i guess i am asking too much the Nichos ultra bats are extremely thick.

if u want the most out of the close to 4 pound bats power

Sachin does not use a 3 pound bat, Chris Gayle does. However, Sachin uses around 2.13ish.

In order to bat with a heavy (4 pound bat in this case) one will have to be extremely strong to bat with it. Batting with such heavy bat is no joke, I remember seeing David Warner alongside Chris Gayle and when Warner held Gayles bat he was saying it was so heavy as he would use it for bicep curls :)).

Heavier bats signifcantly decrease your bat speed and I said earlier said one will have to be extremely powerful to use that weight bat.

Heavier bats have an advantage that ball will travel due to mass and weight it has.

Nowdays most bats have thick edges, one can get a bat with 40 mm edges in weight of 2.8!

^holy cow............................ wow thats like as thick as the legnth of my shoe.
 
OK its true that 4 pound bats are Heavy and hard to swing (if you got power in your arms) but the thing is if you got a Extremely Thick bat Like XL Monster and Gray Nichols Fusion (4 Pounds Probably) then you don`t swing the fast if you hit it good it will go a long way you will see better result with Thick bats but I Recoommend only use it in practice section only

This bat Also Insanely Thick you`l also see this in other post of mine

its a low resultion utube mov but if u see it a good resuluton size u can better see how thick the bat really is.
