Title: Puma or Mongoose
Post by: Number4 on February 06, 2013, 10:36:36 AM
Watching Aus v WI tonight and Andre Russell was using the following Puma bat... Or is it a Mongoose?

Wrong shoulder shape for a 'goose, i presume it's probably from the same place as his 'pumas'!

When WI were in England didn't they visit the Newbery factory/warehouse and pick up all kinds of gear? this could a be a TT as mentioned in earlier posts that was stickered up as Puma..

Shoulders look different from the TT though.

Looks like a Mongoose grip on it, too short to be a TT - but not sure it's an MMi3 either

Looks to be two inches shorter. Can't really tell whether the splice is rduced in size as that would give away Mongoose.

Could be one of those CAs or Maliks you see for sale on fleabay from time to time.

COR3? that would fit the size criteria although the shoulder don't look right...or just an attempt to reduce weight on a normal sized bat that he maybe in love with?

My cor3 looked like this...

I maybe be wrong, but the looks tend towards the Willowstix Slugger.

There are normal size bats aren't they? Do puma make a t20 style bat?

Looks like a mongoose handle though

The commentators called it a Mongoose and was talking about Hayden using it in different formats.

Yep, cos the commentators know their toes from their handles :o

Looks like Russel went back to a more standard bat profile for todays game.
Perhaps too many people noticed that it didn't look like a puma...
