Is the puma ballistic a light bat? Lighter than the Kookaburra Genesis Cyclone

Genesis does feel lighter, but it has less power

its all about timing, any bat can be as powerful as a ballistic.

i'm with blazinhassan. the ballistic 5000 is a wicked bat. when you hit a ball off its middle, it feels so sweet.

There are too many bat threads around again at the moment - it was to avoid this sort of thing that Sledger created the sticky for bat discussion.

Therefore most of the other bat threads on this page are going to be closed tomorrow morning, so if you want to make a final point or move the discussion to the sticky, this would be the time to do so.
