Title: Retro Salix
Post by: jimster on March 18, 2013, 06:15:58 PM
After school me and some mates decided to go to the sports hall and pull out our nets (which i dont think have been used in last 10 years). Anyway when we were in the big storage cupboards looking through the piles of cheap £20 pound  slazenger bats i found right at the bottom a retro salix. It had about 20 grains and the ping was amazing! i was gobsmacked but so sad that this bat would go to suchh waste :'(

Grab a bat from home that's not very good and swap your newer bat with that old salix  ;)

Not everybody can boast a collection big enough to be able to do that Mr Hosk  ;)

Not that I encourage stealing, but if it were to accidentally find it's way into your kit bag they probably wouldn't even know it had gone missing

Don't steal it.

Take it to the pe teacher, explain that your a member of a bat forum, explain  that we restore bats etc, and ask him if you can have the bat to work on.

I bet he will let you have it!

I would suggest you follow this advice.

What he said, take bat first, think of the consequences later! Just replace it with something else lol

I wouldn't recommend stealing from school though - isn't worth getting excluded!

Ask your teacher - he may well say have it!
