Title: Willostix: Decisions, decisions
Post by: King pair on February 06, 2012, 05:58:00 PM
Some opinions required please.

Been talking to Andy at willostix regarding some new kit. I asked him to send me some pictures of any 2.7 anacondas he had in stock and received the following pic. The question is which one to choose? From left to right 1,2,3 or 4?

Same order as top pic

The blue one and the furthest left look lovely to me!
Get a profile picture of them?

Ask for profile shots, and whichever is biggest get. Grains-wise, 1 and 2 are the best

Andy will sort you out some decent kit mate, he's a top bloke. You won't be disappointed if you end up buying one.

Where are you based? If you are near Kent I would really recommend a visit to their barn in Edenbridge

Im up in Lancashire unfortunately mate, so its a bit of a treck to Kent.

He seems a great bloke. He's picked these out for me but says if I dont like what I get he will take it back and change it free of charge.

What are these going for? look nice, wonder what the profile is like!!

Since you are only getting 2 bats, 1 & 4 like the ones that would be good to me...

I'm really tempted by 2 but it has that little speck on the face. They retail at 230.00 but Andy is doing me a really good deal as I am buying a couple plus batting pads, gloves and keeping gear.

If I had the choice I'd go for no. 2 as well.
