Title: For the Cadbury lovers or those on Tour
Post by: Sherpa75 on February 23, 2012, 11:30:16 AM: Had a request from Legger to see some close ups of my Cadbury, and seeing as the tour turned up in the post from Hove last week, i thought you might want to see that as well. Just managed to catch some shots before the sun went down. Apologies to those who didn't want to see either bat ;)

Post by: Sherpa75 on February 23, 2012, 12:26:09 PM: have to admit the tour is taking some getting used to as it doesn't have a spine at all, it's domed .. a bit peculiar to the eye

What's the pickup like? Looks like it would be a bit sleeper-ish!

Post by: petehosk on February 25, 2012, 03:03:10 AM: Ok Sherpa - hope you don't mind me posting a couple of photos! But I looked at yours and Tom's and thought to myself, 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!'

Post by: gabbers on February 25, 2012, 07:55:46 AM: Sherpa and Pete those bats are a thing of Beauty, just stunning!
Title: Re: For the Cadbury lovers or those on Tour
Post by: PM7 on February 25, 2012, 08:08:38 AM: Pete and Sherpa, those are undoubtedly 2 stunning pieces of willow. Have you guys actually used the Cadbury bats or are you afraid of damaging the stickers? Ive noticed that the best looking bats on the Forum always seem to be mint and unused. surely a good thrash about with them is in order?

Post by: Simmy on February 25, 2012, 08:16:46 AM: wow pete! thats a big big GT!
Title: Re: For the Cadbury lovers or those on Tour
Post by: Sherpa75 on February 25, 2012, 08:23:21 AM: the Hosk is out the closet!! PM7, my one is still being knocked in but that and the F40 are going to be my match bats for the coming season

Post by: roco on February 25, 2012, 10:20:52 AM: That looks brilliant Pete but surely too big for a touch player like you
Title: Re: For the Cadbury lovers or those on Tour
Post by: Cover_Drive on February 25, 2012, 05:29:46 PM: ..and I reckon too small for Roco.

Pete, Royal Mail it on MOnday bud ;)
