Every year I buy a bat it seems it takes ages for them to open up or get a good ping. I bought Kookaburra Ice last year and that took a good 4 months before it started to get a good response. The year before I got a kookaburra Beast and before that A GN Fusion but more or less the same problems.
They were all expensive Grade 1 bats (over £200 each) so I was wondering should I buy a grade 2 or 3 bat instead as these bats could mean less pressed and so better response ? I have been told a softer pressed bat could mean higher risk of the bat breaking up but It wouldn't bother if it lasts most of the season.
So if anyone could recommend a Cricket manufacturer that generally sell bats that are soft pressed I would much appreciate it, thanx.
