Yes QS bhai, I will review the bat. because i wanted a lighter bat I went for the size 6 instead of H. The reason why I went for a Woodworm is that my brother needed a bat and when we went to our local cricket store the worker said that Woodworm were going bust... so we bought a flame and it was astonishingly good. It was a more mature wood (5-6 grains, darker colour) and the ping on it was amazing. Inshallah i will be getting it on Wednesday but latest Friday (3-5 working days).

Ah okay, so you are getting it for your brother then not for you, correct?

No... I got a Woodworm for my brother and I liked it so much that I had to get it for myself... and then I found out that Woodworm are clearing out so I bought a grade 1 english willow bat which had been reduced from 110 pounds to 40 pounds

Wait, so then why not buy a senior bat?

I like the size of it and it's quite a heavy bat for its size.

Woodworm went bust ages ago, then they were taken over by thesportshq. They released a new range of Woodworm gears but put all the pre-bust stuff on clearance.

how come a junior is grade one?

 

[Afrid1]

how come a junior is grade one?

It's the same bat that Flintoff used except it's just a smaller size... so the grade 1 willow is just cut to a smaller bat size and there is;t much of a difference between size 6 and the adult size

I thought Woodworm died like 5 years back.

The quality of their bats however has not

Nah, they've just downsized to a more realistic scale of operation.

Ah okay but having said that the iBats are garbage they are nothing less than CAish.

Old Woodworms had better shapes too!

 

[SempreSami]

A friend of mine has an iBat which isn't too bad. Their new stuff with the black colour scheme looks fairly nice too.

 

[Cover Drive]

I haven't seen the black one but I held iBat and it didn't have the greatest feel of all time. Old ones definitely have good pickup and feel. A friend of mine got a bargain in the old one and it is gun!

 

[The Blazer]

Anyone tried the Kashmir Willow bats? What are they like?

A friend of mine bought a Glowworm (KW) and it was ok, very light pickup.
