Title: My First BB
Post by: tushar sehgal on February 21, 2013, 12:33:52 AM: Having looked at many a stunning BB bats go on sale and never getting myself to really get to buying one I was sent one by Uzair to try out. It felt nice to use and then BB boys posted the "Deal of the century" thread, it was perfect oppertunity for me to get one :) and just before my bat buying ban (I don't know how I am going to last a 11 months without buying a bat :( )

Anyways this is what I was sent (I did get a couple of pics before hand) and it weighs 2'11 or close to it..I oiled the bat and started knocking but haven't finished knocking it just yet. Nice grains and lovely pick-up, I did take it to indoor cricket last week as we had an hr fielding session booked in the end so used this partially knocked bat to hit balls to fielders. Moment we started doing some close catching I knew this was going to be a great bat, just feels incredible and rebounds beautifully. everyone who tried it enjoyed it so much so that couple folks asked to get one although not sure they will get it at this price :)...here are some pics, will post an update when I actually use it against bowlers on March 2nd...

Ah no worries mate; glad to see you happy.

Hmm interesting point, I don't think it would make a difference if they were not similar at this point as I like the bat but will do some pics up tonight.

Unfortunately SCat is the only one that has not been used by me, except for 3 balls in a match, My RPC keeps everything else restricted to the kit bag...although now that the RPC's are away on trip to Toronto some of the others will get a run in the nets..

I look forward to your nets with them.
