Post by: Kulli on March 11, 2013, 05:10:24 PM: So is it yours or a club bat?
Title: Re: RNS Personal
Post by: Colesy on March 11, 2013, 05:17:22 PM: It's a team mate's that I'm knocking in for him. Feels pretty good with a mallet, nice wide middle. With a couple more grips it would have a pick up more to my preference but would weigh too much.

It's not to my taste when it comes to feel, but seems to go. Think my team mate will like it.

On of the smaller but well established brands, they make bats for a few brands from what I have heard. Made in India (Jallandhar specifically), bats are decent but need some work in knocking in etc...

Post by: Alvaro on March 11, 2013, 05:37:13 PM: Is this one of the RNS going cheap on eBay a while back?
I have a Willostix that is apparently made by Larsons and it seems to be a lovely bat.

Post by: thedon on March 11, 2013, 07:49:23 PM: I had a top of the range rns last season and it just felt dead. gave it plenty of knocking and playing in, but i think it was just hard pressed

Post by: csnew on March 11, 2013, 08:51:10 PM: Got one of these RNS from ebay last summer. Went like a rocket.
However, willow was very dry, ended up cracking in half. Even when knocking it in, plenty of surface cracks.

I only paid 35, lasted me 3/4 of the season. Would probably get another
