I ordered a Pellara County for the grand total of £44 incl. shipping.
The bat showed up this morning and much to my surprise I actually really like it. I ordered a county but got an elite,
I ordered one weighing 2.7.. The sticker came saying 2.7-2.8 so I assume it's in between don't have a scale at the moment. 7 Grains, nice coloring on the willow, a few small specks here and there but nothing major.

I got apparently a G1 willow bat when ordering a G3 for an absolute steal. :D
Let me know what you guys think!!

Incredible mate, I want a bargain!
-
I bought an Elite 2 years ago, and trust me, it was no where that price and i must say your grains are alot better than what my Elite has to show.
Lucky so and so. :D
-
Awesome !
-
Look good for the money!
-
Looking forward to my county coming then! Back stickers look like 2011.
-
thats a lovely looking bat :)
i went on the ECB store site and couldnt find any bargains like this?
how does it work

You've done well there! Both of mine were County, although to be fair to them, they don't look particularly poor for Grade 3 willow.
If you were to stick it on ebay, you'd probably get around £150 for it given the price they normally go at!
I'm not entirely convinced by the shape of the Pellara though. What do you think of the "Toblerone on a plank" shape?

They were selling off 2010 stock in the Sale section and an awful lot of bats were really cheap.

I'll admit the shape is a little funny the way they've tried to do a scoop like design but I can't say I hate it. Although that maybe due to the fact I got a better bat than expected.

got mine today - Pro version G2 with 6 grains. Having had a 2009 version a few weeks back, I'm not a fan of the steep ridge in the 2010 version. Seems quite nice but standing next to the GM Luna 505 I'm also thinking of selling, it looks a bit puny in comparison, if a bit better looking.

It does have a slightly odd shape to the spine but it doesn't really bother me as my kook has a high spine. I agree on the size it does look a bit small next to my bulldog and kook.
Put up a picture or 2... It'd be nice to see what you got!
Also what weight did you get?

Here we go:-

2'7 is the weight, though my Luna feels lighter and weighs in at 2'8.

I agree on the weight thing also... My kook is 2.9 and the pellara is supposedly 2.7 but feels more like 2.11 in terms of pick up.
I also think its quite amusing how none of us who've ordered the pellara got the same stickers.
Your stickers say v3.0 and mine say v1.1

On the weight thing, I think the one I have just sold picks up around its 2lb9oz sticker weight. It feels slightly lighter than my 2lb 10oz Instinct.

Here's the one I had before, for comparison:-

Same weight 2'7.

My Pellara County arrived today, I am assuming the willow is bleached as it is spotless across the face.
I'll try and stick some pictures up later tonight for a comparison.
