Hello,
I made myself a bat made of teak wood. I know the best wood is willow, but do people also make bats of teak wood which is supposed to be very good for furniture?
The bat is currently is way too heavy, it is now weighing 6.3 pounds or 2.86 kgs. But the local manufacturer told me that since the wood is very new(about a week old from the tree), it will lose about half its weight by drying. so I've kept it under the sun. But I can't believe that it will lose half its weight. Can it? I ideally would want it to be about 2.7 pounds or about 1.25 kgs but its impossible to lose that much weight, correct?
Also, what are other woods that a bat can be made of? Rosewood?
What is the heaviest bat used in international cricket? I've heard Tendulkar has used 3 pound bats believed to be the heaviest and yet some tell Lance Klusener has used a bat much heavier than that, is this correct?
