My new bat i got today. Salix - 2.10's. Ready to play. Used it in nets tonight - the balls i managed to hit came off very nicely. First time ive tried one of these and it really is nice. Pics below.

looks a nice blade, step back with the stickers for me, but who cares about stickers ayyy!
-
looks a nice bat
-
Welcome back Dan - I love this bat and the stickers, but clearly it wont be as good as one of your bats!
-
Cheers Buzz. It's nice to be back. Hopefully haven't missed too much.
-
What a very nice Salix,i like the stickers and i bet it plays like a dream as well.Nice bat Dan
-
I actually prefer these new stickers! 8)
-
Im with pete, i prefer them!
-
Stickers are really nice - the quality is exceptionally high, as to be expected really.
-
Amazing stick!! The sticks are great! I have Salix and quality on these bats is far superior than others and the way they play is amazing!!
I hope yours goes well and you score tons of runs with it!
Don't know if you did it intentionally or what but did you apply the scuff sheet? I mean wouldn't full face one have been better?
-
Scuff sheet was applied like that so it doesnt go over the sticker i think. I didnt dress the bat. Your right the quality/finish is fantastic.
-
Ahh okay, hope you didn't mind with me saying that.
I used my Salix thrice and trust me the middle of Salix is the best I would say!
-
nah dont mind mate, can see your point. it looks a bit odd but just dont think they want to take away from the stickers in anyway.
-
Dan is this one of the new fancy cambered edge doo dahs?
-
Nah mate, its a standard flat edge :( no doo dah about it unfortunately.

Probably for the best. I can see the weird edge ones being superb for someone who only ever middles the ball :D
-
ha, your not wrong. it would be completely wasted on me in that case.

Although I like the idea, I can't help worrying how long they would last with the weird edges. Got to reduce durability in the edge area.

Maybe that's it? You hit the edge and it breaks a bit so it doesn't carry!

Think I'd rather be out, looking at the Salix prices this year.
-
i can see what your saying but the edge doesnt camber inwards from the face, there is still a flat edge there for 10+mm before it starts the camber so there isn't any real compromise on durability.
-
those stickers do look rather flash
-
very nice Dan
-
Too add to the New bat i also have this which im using in the nets, it's the bat that was used for the AOC review - gloves werent reviewed but are really nice.

Which gloves are they ?

They look like Pod Pros.
-
They arent any glove style in particular - but they are fantastic.
