Ok, so Mike (Talisman) is willow supplier for the majority of this forum!
Thought it would be a good idea for everyone that has given Mike some of their hard earned cash in return for some truly awesome willow to post pictures of their bats in this topic. Mike has passed on some true stunner's so lets share them all together.
Include
- Model (Pink/Grey) (Perfect Storm, Storm, Storm Extreme)
- Grains
- Weight
- Edge size
- Spine height
- Profile (Shape)
- A performance rating /10
-
I'll start.
- Grey Talisman Storm
- 13 grains, strip of heartwood on inside edge
- 2lbs 7oz of wood, 2lbs 10oz fully dressed with stickers, grips and scuff sheet
- 36mm Edges
- 55mm Spine
- Mid-Low middle and very long! No concaving!
- Performance Rating 8/10. Only had it for about a month, it will improve with use!

I believe it has to be a Talisman brand bat... Correct me if I'm wrong Liam ;)
-
Ohh no it is a Talisman mate 8) - Just didn't purchase it directly from the Willow Baron ;)

Ahhhh.. Well in that case don't let me stop you mate :)
-
It has to be Talisman branded, otherwise we could see a few different brands with talisman willow under their stickers!
-
Haha yeah that would be interesting.
Mine is a talisman branded bat I'll upload pics in about an hour after I've eaten dinner... 8)

Awesome bats lads, hope no one objects to me posting this here but as I'm trying to contact mike with no success. I was wondering is there anything special I have to do to get him to reply, I've sent him a few pm's when he's been online but still no reply. Considering you guys all have nice shiny talisman bats, that you were the guys in the know.
Do I have to look in the mirror and say talisman 5 times, ala the candyman film, for him to magically reply? Or do you have to have a certain number of posts before he acknowledges you or maybe he just doesn't like me lol.
Anyway if anyone can shed some light on the aforementioned subject, it will be greatly appreciated!
Ps apologies for hijacking your thread.

Mike is a VERY busy man qalib. I'm sure he's received your PMs and that he will reply in due course.
I've learnt that Mike delivers the goods, sometimes late but he will make it up to you.
His bats are well worth the wait :D
-
You have to be a big deal for sir Talisman to reply to you, I'm sure he'l reply once he's worked through his backlog of emails
-
Explains why he never replies to you then Mike ;)

The above bat is subliminal
Hoping to have a couple more on there way very shortly ;)
-
Mmmmmmmm :D
Your run-scoring makes you a big deal though mate ;) - even if you ran yourself out last week! :(
-
I am contemplating whether I should send mike and email for some grips, followed by a text to tell him I have emailed him. Don't want to move into the 'annoying' sector though...
-
I got some change burning a hole in my pocket! And it's weighing me down, I just hope by the time the baron gets back to me it's still there! :) I can hear the music but I'm still outside the nightclub!
-
You won't get much joy out of him tonight. He's been hanging out with the big nobs at Hove today, and is probably in a gutter / titty bar / kebab shop somewhere in Brighton as we speak. He also as a habit of leaving his mobile everywhere.
He does however, listen to me, as I am his special boy - I will mention you are after him, and that you have cash, and this will secure his valuable interest.
-
It's this :D
http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=11952.0
But I will get some proper pics of it as it is now tomorrow morning... :)
Haven't really given it a proper go, but for catches it was flying :D

Looks like a beauty! Yet to find a grip that looks good on my Talisman yet. White is ok, but trying to get a 2010 puma grip as my dads evo grip looked good on it!

Still waiting for you to 'keep me posted' about the one we discussed, by the way.

Talisman Storm recently picked up from Roco Da Pixie in the 'For Sale' section of the forum - my first Talisman!
2.9 with a single chevron, now approx 2.10.5 with another grip on top.
13 Grains with 3 grains of heartwood on RH edge.
Made to Matt's specs but very similar in shape to my RB Paradox.
