I purchased this bat for my 12 year old son as he is 174cm but has not got the full strength of an adult. The length is perfect and the weight is good at 2lb 6oz after oiling and knocking. Pickup is average as the bat has a mid-low middle. A second bat grip will help there. The bat has 6 grains with some minor blemishes on the face so a reasonable grade two willow. Ping is good and it performs well.
Be aware though that the face is 10.4cm wide at the toe and closer to 10.3cm at the shoulder. So it is a little narrower than the maximum allowable 10.7cm. Some might argue a few millimeters equals lower weight and therefore faster bat speed. Others argue a narrower bat leads to a somewhat smaller sweet spot. Narrowed bats seem to be common amongst subcontinent made bats. Do some research to work out of it is an issue for you.
Overall a good buy for the price especially if on special. I needed a lighter adult sized bat for my adolescent son. Your needs may differ however.
