Title: Generic topic about a new bat.
Post by: Colesy on August 02, 2011, 02:28:01 PM
Right. Went to my local shop today to pick up a Boom Boom Signature 130 I reserved a week or so ago.

In truth it was one of two good bats in the shop, the other being a Hunts County.

This bat weighs 2.10 with one snake grip and has a very nice pick-up with 2 grips as I added one to make it more to my taste.
Edges: 37mm
Toe: 22mm
Grains: 8
Rebound: I want to find another word/s for very nice... 

I don't really know what to write so as they say 'a picture tells a thousand words'.. So here are 4000 words.

Also, I went for multi-national currency. I have a 1 rupee coin for our Indian viewers, a 1 euro coin for European viewers and a good ol' 2p for us British. (Couldn't find my American currency)

Again, apologies for picture quality. My dad stole the camera before I got there.

Looks really nice & decent value for £££

I was impressed with the BoomBooms i saw in my local shop, though I personally preferred the profile on the blue ones

Used it in a net tonight lol. Goes very nicely out of the middle, might need a little more knocking in for it to go properly but early signs are very good.

Sounds good, the sticker are very nice for an 'asian' brand. Better than CA and others, although SS are improving

Used it in nets again tonight and it feels like it still needs a bit of playing in. Still not that forgiving around the toe area but this is gradually going. It feels really nice when 'timing' the ball as opposed to hitting the ball but either way, if you middle it, it stays hit.

Very well received at my club too which is always a bonus. Runs tomorrow please!
