Title: this seasons choice.
Post by: deanoknight on February 16, 2013, 02:20:38 PM

picked this up on ebay, cost me £85.00 inc postage. weighs 2'9 no concaving 19 grains a chunk of heartwood. it was on ebay as a Icon bat from oz I'd never heard of them but had a look at there website. Hated the stickers went for plain and simple. theres a couple of knots in the back, but the face is clean all in all pretty happy lovely pick up and taps up beautiful. i would say defiantly Asian made but if it goes well I'm not complaining. also the Handel feels pretty decent!

think wed need a little bit more than that mate, still plenty left in stock for £2 if people want them to put on their own bats though!

well there wasn't much to do the old stickes came off easy and hadn't marked/stained so used p400 then 1200 then some silicone spray on a cloth to buff it
cheers for the comments
