Did the Gray Nics gladius have markings in the back?

I think it was gladius that was orange, I cant remember. Excuse the spelling too

An early Slaz V800 = they had a variety of strange grooves on their backs through their various incarnations?

Possibly a Warrior by Richard Wensley?

Just searched the Gray nicolls gladius and the slazenger v800 and their profiles don't match, Any chance for a picture of the Warrior Fattus?

How would these be replicated if you were making your own bat?

I have no idea mate, I think it must have been done with a special tool.

Profile looks similar to the Ridgeback but there is no engravings sadly

Hunts County Reflex that someone has made their own scoops in, judging by the inconsistent shape and poor finishing on the scoops would be my guess.

Post by: Simmy on February 05, 2012, 08:13:48 PM
yeah dont think its a warrior they never do scoops like that,

but could possibly be a slazenger as it says Select! and they have a select model

Post by: scottish_slogger95 on February 05, 2012, 08:17:39 PM
tims that is a good match with the profiles but the bat is oldish and I think it was made before the hunts reflex was brought out. The scoops looked well finished until I thought a spokeshave could shave them of! (still learning!)

thought I was a bit conservative.

Shape to me more like the insignia if a hunts
Title: Re: Can someone tell me what make this bat is?
Post by: scottish_slogger95 on February 05, 2012, 08:32:35 PM
Ah then It might be a reflex. I looked at hunts range and thought it was new. So I think you right mate! but those engravings are bugging me have they been done by the bats manufacturer or by the person who bought the bat. Has the stickers ever been orange? as there were orange stickers inside the engravings when I got given it

reflex had no scoops though.

If slazenger think it was V800 that had contoured back.

If it is a hunts then they are user made. To be honest I don't remember any bat with scoops quite like that
