Yeah it’s bonkers
The people at the club get in on the international players orders (this is Scotland) and they get given a huge amount of bats, which are massive in profile compared to what I knew.
Speaking to them, the thing is they aren’t designed to last in the same way previous bats where. One player was saying that in the World Cup it was one bat per two/three games with nets. They measure them in balls faced!! (Appaz this isn’t every bat manufacturer, you get some players who use one stick the whole season/until it breaks)
Then they hand them down to the club. So you get juniors with these enormous bats that still have more than enough tickle for us mere mortals
Prob a healthy bit of marketing in there, but the bats are very different now for sure
Measured in years not inches!
