Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: cricketbadger on March 17, 2013, 09:03:04 PM: I've got an Ultimate, and its lovely, cracking middle, 12 straight blemish free grains
Took the stickers off because I'm not a fan, but the bats great, and got it for a good price

Post by: cricketbadger on March 17, 2013, 09:10:13 PM: How much for?

Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: deanoknight on March 17, 2013, 09:19:19 PM: Is this the one on eBay for 99 buy it now?
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: craigwm on March 17, 2013, 09:19:57 PM: I got one of these when they were cheap on eBay a couple of weeks ago. The pick up is dreamy, the grains are lovely and the rebound is reboundy. ;)
If its cheap then I would go for it!
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 09:20:16 PM: yes it is mate on ebay i asked for pictures of it not keen on stock photos

Are they any good

Apparently this was hand made in England I told it wasn't
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: cricketbadger on March 17, 2013, 09:26:02 PM: for £99 I'd definately give it a go
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 17, 2013, 09:32:10 PM: I found a slaz sxi ultimate a few years back and it was gorgeous. Found that by luck hiding in Sports Direct of all places. Paid £65.00. Gave it to a mate and he's still using it. Goes very nicely indeed
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: Alvaro on March 17, 2013, 09:32:25 PM: At that price yes - you could make your money back I'm sure, if you were so inclined.
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 09:35:58 PM: i bought it in the end weight is 2-8
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: ProWannabe88 on March 17, 2013, 09:39:37 PM: I think you'll be pleasantly surprised
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: Alvaro on March 17, 2013, 09:40:38 PM: Looking at it, didn't 2012 bats have the multicolour grips?
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 09:46:49 PM: I have seen 2 pictures I am not,too up to speed with it all.

Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: cricketbadger on March 17, 2013, 09:48:40 PM: I think you'll be pleased with it, looks similar to mine in the face

Mine's my match bat this year
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: Tom on March 17, 2013, 09:51:08 PM: 2012 had octoplus grip and lines next to V200 on the front. This is either a 2011 model, or perhaps a Sports Direct special
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 09:52:52 PM: Oh well bit older than I thought I hope it plays well

Next the millichamp retro
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: Alvaro on March 17, 2013, 09:53:28 PM: No doubt it's still a bargain at under a ton.
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: FattusCattus on March 17, 2013, 09:55:10 PM: I've found them ok. Tim had two we used at an early batoff and they were stonkers. i was a knoblett for not buying the light one.

Thought they were all made by Sondhi though.
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 17, 2013, 09:57:07 PM: This one is mate just confirmed looks ok I think
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: e4sby on March 17, 2013, 09:59:35 PM: I asked for pics myself just wasn't sure how concaved it was plus I'm stuck with 3 kookas at the minute.

Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: e4sby on March 17, 2013, 10:08:46 PM: Exactly what I thought
Title: Re: What are slazenger bats like
Post by: procricket on March 19, 2013, 06:32:08 PM: Very very nice b&s arrived today.

Was in the plastic sealed wallet it had 6 seams marks on it that was the extent of the dinks.

Lovely lick up great profile similar to my private bin nice straight 10 grains not a blemish on the face and no heartwood.

Mallet test was very decent with a extended middle I have done 2 hours knocking now and now it has a semi new Oxbridge on it it does have very nice rebound indeed.

I think I am tempted to but his v100 elite and pro as well in similar weights very nice indeed
