Lets find the worst stickered, looking, ugliest looking new bats for 2013 to help our recovering Bataholic stay on the wagon. Here's my starter, ugly stickers and it simply doesn't look right:-

It's like they've tried and failed horrifically to copy the laver!

Was thinking the same thing!

I like it

The stickers really aren't the usual classy, sophisticated GM fare either...
-
I like it
Me too - they are better in person
-
The pictures put me off wanting to see one in the flesh...
-
I can't really see what's wrong with it... When one of the most traditional names tries to do something different it gets slated! Personally I think it looks like a Laver Ultra without the additional concaving and the stickers aren't really that far removed from the Flare of 2 or 3 years ago. I'd like to feel the pick up on it though, as that's what to me from the looks, looks like it might be heavier.

The Arrogance by Boom Boom looks nicer IMHO

True, but perhaps that's the whole point, trying to get away from their stereotypes. I'll ask the rep/clubmate about them next time I see him.
-
has nobody else seen some horrible 2013 bats? We all need to do our bit to keep Tom on the straight and narrow!
-

Will you be selling one in six months or so? ;)
-

I've got to agree, I saw it recently at gccc and they do look better than the pictures would suggest.
The stickers are not that bad
-
Wow that's a rather decent rump...

Hahaha I can't wait for him to read this

If these are cheap enough Id probably want one!

They would look a thousand times better if they had a proper grip

MY favourite thing about this rag tag outfit is they decided to rip off not only an old technology (about ten years) but also one that has been banned by the MCC for almost as long, the ban kicked in on the Kookaburra Smart Bat before they even got to market with it.

After arguing about 45grams at the post office I'm in a bad mood >:(
"Stupid is what stupid does"
Vibration converted to heat is still an energy loss

The 'exclusive dealer' in the UK for this rubbish is very close to me. I know he's selling them direct out of his garage. I'm going to visit him soon, cant wait to hear his explanation on the handle. Might even buy one and cut it open there and then!

the whole point of this thread was to put Tom off bats and now your finding reasons to use a bat on a cold day in April!
Whoops..
-
I can turn this around...
If you use this bat your hands will catch fire from the heat.
-
My hands sweat enough whilst batting without attaching a mini radiator to the handle.
-
Next you'll be telling me the handle can make cups of tea in a Wallace and Gromit style contraption...!

lol :D
"Thick Edge" and why on earth call a bat a "Wombat", that's a dynamic animal lol
-
What about 'The Cheetah' for batsmen who don't walk... :D

there are 2-3 companies called wombat i believe. one uk based, one in aus and i think india has one aswell
-
somebody send in Marcus!
-
Hahaha, I thought that the wombat bat was a joke at first....
A wombat doesn't exactly bring cricket to mind, but apparently they are legit.
Odd choice for a brand name in my opinion and the stickers are pretty bad.

Are those heat generating SM bats sold anywhere? Perhaps good bat for Canadian winters..

They are sold by a guy local to me. Though i don't for a second believe there is anything in the handle.
The tech isn't theirs to start with, and Kook abandoned it before fully finishing it after it was banned, plus as Norbs pointed out, its a fairly pointless idea anyway.
-
If he reverses the process he might be able to sell them through Anne Summers :D

Fair enough, cheers for swift reply.
I think I'm better off with cold hands while batting.
