The ridged back, where presumably much of the 2lb 10oz weight was distributed, earned quite a bit of comment from our panel of testers
Whatever the reason, this is a bat which looked the part, but was more style over substance
Opinion was somewhat split on this high-end offering from the Nottingham manufacturers

As you would expect from a bat a rung down in terms of willow grade and cost from the Flip 2.0, the Pearla does not match up to the higher-end DSC blade in terms of build quality
This high-grade offering from DSC blew our reviewers' minds with the spectacular way it handled and the way the ball flew off the middle
The Sika – another name for the Japanese spotted deer, if you were wondering – is intended for the all-round strokemaker
With generous 38mm edges but a friendly weight of just 2lb 8.5oz, and a short handle as standard, the Roe Stag is designed expressly for the junior batter who wishes to add a bit more oomph to their strokeplay
There was much more to the Pure Signature than sheer heft. It was blessed with beautiful and plentiful grains, and an elegant shape somewhat at odds with the monstrous after-effects
If you are a predominantly front-foot batter, then this bat has been designed with your kind in mind
This was an enjoyable bat to wield. All our judges were unanimous that the middle was incredibly potent
The Classic Players is very much out of the Gray-Nicolls playbook: medium-sized edges and a medium weight make it easy to wield for shots straight back past the bowler
A consistent performer – it ranked solidly among every user in all categories and remains a market-leader
