    Posted: 07 December 2005 at 7:02pm

I am an opener looking at bats that are light yet powerful.  Hows the beast and its lower brands such as  pro beast, pure beast, wild and angry beast.

the beast, pure and angry are the only bats with graphite.  does graphite really let you hit the ball further?

Currently using an MRF Blazer.  Looking for a cool bat with thick edges and very light.

Any Help from players that have used kookaburra bats. how does the beast compare to the Kahuna?

Definitely get a Classic Beast Kookaburra. It has thick edges and once i edged a ball for 6! It is really light as well.

CA is a really popular bat brand in Pakistan but I personally don't think that it's really great.

Well, I don't really know a lot about bats...I just go by what I hear from people...I have never really looked into bats. This might help:

yeh saad, its hard to find the beast bat in canada, and to import it, its $400. and i am not playing test class or anything, so i was thinking of something a bit cheaper.

MRF GENIUS has thick edges and bow, but around $300.

How are Ca's? do they have a bow?

I have seen CA's with bows but some don't have a bow so you should always look at it yourself before you look at a picture of it and order it on the internet.

Yeh Saad, i ordered a few bats on ebay n they are not what they describe them as, now i have decided to only seem them and feel them before buying.  But just trying to get an idea from players who have experienced it before going to the store.

Cause different guys here sell different bats.

I have no idea where you can buy bats in Canada. Can you tell me a few places...if you can tell me some near Mississauga, that would be great!

Charlie french bats can be checked out at www.cfbats.com  actually it seems they are hand made and not just mass produced.

lol never get the bat brands you kow bats for 300au lol you wanna be like a player they dont use a 300 dollar bat and it proably isnt even the bat that they use get a bat with 7-13 straight or straghtish grains and thats feels nice to you and thick edges as it will come off better even if you dont catch it in the middle
