Title: Guess the model
Post by: Kulli on January 03, 2013, 05:09:21 PM: Always interested in grading and what grade or model people perceive bats to be, so guess away for this old GM.

I was fairly surprised when the owner told me.

Apologies for the crap pictures, a camera is near the top of my to buy list but I blew all my savings on some new Twin tips since it's super snowy here.

Post by: Ryan on January 03, 2013, 05:28:18 PM: I'd say 606 due to the bottom left of the bat.

Post by: Kulli on January 08, 2013, 02:07:56 PM: It was a 404, so full marks to Alvero.

Fairly nice looking grains for such a low model but their not very prominent on the RHS of the blade (due to the bleaching)

Post by: mr_wickets on January 08, 2013, 02:14:41 PM: Looks a nice bat, but how does it go? Looks can be deceiving!
Title: Re: Guess the model
Post by: Kulli on January 08, 2013, 02:17:20 PM: Ok, exceptionally well for a 25 quid bat, nothing that'd blow anyone away but could easily be mistaken for an 808 or 909 on performance.

Aye but very few GM's that I've used have been planky. For whatever reason with GM you can get a lot of low grade stunners if you go into the shop and pick it yourself!

So Alvaro wins the bat? :(

No worries, he owes me a bat! So thank you for your generosity Alvaro, I know you're a wonderful lad :D 8)
