Title: new gm flare
Post by: deanoknight on June 25, 2011, 12:01:43 PM
once again rained off today, so thought I'd post some pics of my new flare i bought of ebay yesterday. as it was only up the road thought I'd pick it up, and save postage. the guy says he has connections to a few sponsored players. so this was a bit of a punt but seems to have paid off. we'll see how it plays tommorrow fingers crossed!!!!

you may well have seen it on ebay...
let me know what you think.

the guy you bought it from has no connections to professional players, his main business is buying used or old stickered bats on eBay and refurbishing them. Another thing was restickering Newbery bats from the Chalet, upgrading them to SPS despite them being 5*.

It would seem on this particular bat he's removed the model sticker, so presumably it's a low grade GM perhaps picked up in the Barrington's sale. Ask anyone from CSF about him.

well its deinetly not a shop GM LE because no shop GM bat would have half heartwood.
