This beauty arrived in the post today courtesy of Lukeys!! She is a Salix Praestantia Grade One - only a 2.8 which is surprising given the size of the profile!  The pick-up is feather light and the balance is exceptional - I can't wait to get her in the nets but also don't want to ruin her....might just frame it instead! :)
The finshing touch that is really pleasing is the signature of the bat maker on the shoulder.....awesome....

That's huge for a 2.8, let alone a salix.

If this happens to be one of the bats i picked up in his shop a month or so ago then i believe it will be a absolute gun !
