Title: Bulldog Pedigree review
Post by: jimster on December 22, 2012, 10:35:21 PM
When i first pulled this bat out of the packaging the first thing i thought was 'wow this is massive' the picture of the profile may not show it but the edges are huge. I asked for 2'8 ish weight but due to the low middle the pick up isnt great which makes it feel heavier than it is i think, but still great for the size of it. It has 9 lovely straight ish grains and pings absolutely amazingly! by far best ping iv experienced on a bat before! It does have a fair amount of concaving but thats how i like my bats so it suits me! Also ive got to thank kieron for the service as after discussing the bat with him it came only two days later so thanks a lot for that!

Beautiful stick, but please sort the bottom of the grip out :(! It detracts from the loveliness of the bat mate :)

A little higher than what? They're no more expensive than any other small brand at each point.

Yes Diamond toe insert. It's the new in thing to strengthen the toe but yes puts the price up a bit !!!

Haha no toe insert and I think this one was a £180 which I think is a bargain.

My remark was not in -ve sense. with great bargains available here from mr bulldog, these are worth the price.
On the wesbite http://www.bulldogcricket.co.uk/bats_spirit.html (http://www.bulldogcricket.co.uk/bats_spirit.html)
Its 245 gbp and then u add 30 gbp shipping to USA which makes it - 450$. That is expensive for my budget.

Anyways - the bats are great quality and i have bulldog as one my match bats.

nice looking bat but is this a TK made bat as the shoulders would suggest otherwise?
Title: Re: Bulldog Pedigree review
Post by: Bulldog Cricket on December 23, 2012, 04:28:14 PM
 Would you like one ? And who said it was a TK one ?
Title: Re: Bulldog Pedigree review
Post by: Ponsers82 on December 23, 2012, 05:02:36 PM
I am potentially looking to buy a new bat in the near future. How much would a TK one be in this profile please?

Post by: Bulldog Cricket on December 23, 2012, 05:05:08 PM

No, thanks. Was just intrigued as to the provenance of this bat. But I think that has been touched on by our friend Mr.Ponce.

Your friend ? We have been getting our bats from the same people for the last 5 years. We have just had a batch from Sareen as we want to stock SS in our shop and very nice they are. I know full well like you do what a TK bat looks like and a recent one certainly does not look like it to me.

Which recent one does not look like a tk then??

Depends which one was sold as a keeley.

If a brand on here is lying about their bats and you have evidence to support it, then please share it.
