Title: Recent Purchase
Post by: GJ on November 20, 2011, 12:51:49 PM
Thought i'd stick a review of this up having not contributed for a while on here.
I contacted Mike about 2 weeks ago with the possibility of a new bat from him, seeing as my last one from him had completely (No Swearing Please) down the shoulder and through the handle.  Soon enough I had a reply with what he thought matched the specs I had given him with some pictures and I went ahead and ordered.
After paying for the bat Monday night I was pleased to see it had arrived on the Wednesday so no complaints on the delivery front.
The bats weighs around 2lb 10 with grips and scuff sheet on and feels very balanced. Grains are clean and straight, not this bothered me as I just wanted a bat that would perform well and is likely to last longer than my last one! I can't comment on performance much yet as I won't use it until the new year but it certainly feels good off the mallet. Finish is good as ever and Mike was kind enough to include some extra grips, tape etc. Overall faultless service and will definately order again.

Looks a nice stick GJ, I'm glad the purchase went through smoothly for you. You didn't fancy the talisman stickers then?

Would you say this is a low middle or mid-middle????

Doesn't really bother me whether it has stickers or not. I didn't ask for them anyway.

I asked for a mid-low middle with my specs.

Very nice, looks a belter and im sure it will fly. Has your other one completely fallen apart now?

I dont think im going to resist buying a new bat before next year.

Pretty much yeah, just waiting for the handle to fall out as it sounds pretty bad. It went again last game of the season-first use after the repair.

Any thoughts on what bat you might get?
