Title: New powerbow strike
Post by: shaqharris on November 25, 2011, 04:55:35 PM
Hi guys decided I may just pick up the new powerbow strike ,
As there only around 90 pounds but I've been told you can't see the grains , it's just a sheet of something over the top ???? Does any one maybe the store owners on here have any pics of one before I buy ,
Cheers

Oh yeah mate, whatever happened to those woodworms? You (or anyone) will never make a mistake like that again haha, and I'm not having a dig, cos its the sort of thing I would have done before coming on here.

Still got them was rather annoyed considering I paid a bit for them in the day ,I bought them about 3 years ago off eBay and though they were the shizzle now in just wonder how people  have laughed, I mean I could put the, on the bay and probes get about 40 but just couldn't live with myself there is some nice grainage on them tho when I have used them haha but next season i will have all the gear and no idea lol

Take the stickers off and stick it up on ebay as a bat that you tried to make look like a woodworm.

Precisely so I'm sure they will be worth something to someone. As long as you dont mislead people then you can sell them with a clear conscience. But if you don't, you'll be found out lol, we'll find you :p

I mean I think it's the globe that has 12 straight grains on it so you could be rite and it could be with something to someone but to be honest not many people ar interested in woodworms nowadays

they are a bit "out of date" now im afraid mate now that not many proper batsmen are using them

If Freddie and kp still used them I could maybe of got a good sale but then again there still fake , I get sick of seeing stupid fakers on the bay it seems the adidas pallera is the new thing to fake

I wonder whether it's someone on here, and saw it was you who bid on it Shaq and thought it better to come clean before being found out on delivery.

Just clicked on a link on a link from here , bat repairs.com
They said they will buy bats from me do you think there is any chance they will buy my dodgy woodworms off me ?? Or are there any other services like this online ??

If real stickers are widely available it's enough to make me steer clear of anything on ebay (see: Bradbury)

I really dont understand why low life's spend there time trying to fob people off with fake bats

I think it really devalues all the companies, In my view Adidas, Nike, Kookaburra even Slazenger now are to be avoided like the Plague unless buying new.

The fact is , yes we maynall mess up and buy one but am pretty sure when we get one we willnrealise and sort it out through pay pal so yes whilst the may get money for it straight away in the near future we will be getting our money back

We on here will yes, but people less in the know will get a bat that is rubbish, and steer well clear of that brand In future.
