When the description is

Very Amazin Ping

you know it is time to look elsewhere.

It will be a cheap asian made import. Not worth the trouble.

No idea, but it looks like the same seller that was in the ebay tat thread for stickering blank bats with Mongoose stickers (badly!). I see he's got a blank with fake GM Luna original stickers as well

Although the bat is rubbish,cheap Asian made is not a bad thing. I have seen and played with some amazing cheap Asian bats (cheap being a relative term though).

Only top end ones, I wouldn't buy cheap ones because, well, there will be a reason they are cheap. Much rather have something that isn't mass produced on an incredibly low budget, where quantity rules quality.

You are right about the variability of quality in the cheap ones but I have seen a few from the smaller brands which were cheaper and could give the big boys a run for their money.

But price is a reasonable indicator of quality when buying blind.

Asian bats are every bit as good as English ones and 90 per cent of people could not tell the difference and i suspect Pinhead is one of them..

I missed you Jon and must say my comments are not personal

You've been gone?

So in Dave world, my post read something like 'all asian bats are (No Swearing Please)', then? That is the only possible reason for your response.

If I'm so wrong Dave, put your money where your mouth is and buy the bat in question, if you are so confident about the performance.

Go away you angry little man, you really are wasting your time these days :) I have a new and altogether more entertaining sparring partner :D
