Hi all,
Bought a SG RSD PRO online from a reputed seller , but this bat isn't polycoated . I thought all SG bats were polycoated ?
Hard to see he will sell something fake though, Any thoughts?
Will post images later on
-
Why would it be polycoated?
-
All the reviews on youtube says they come like that , this is the first time I bought a SG bat so I was going by all the stuff I read and see on internet.
Also Jason's reviews http://cricketgearreviews.com/tag/sg-cricket/ (http://cricketgearreviews.com/tag/sg-cricket/)
I mean I would rather have the bat like this than polycoated but just wanted to make sure if it is a fake or not.
-
Where did you buy the bat from?
Pictures will help otherwise people will just be guessing
-
bought it from onlinestocklist , will post pics later

Not all SG bats are polycoated, actually only very few are.

The spec sheets on those reviews say 'poly coated' but surely from just looking at the pictures you will realize that they aren't.
Also Jason lists the look of the willow as one of the plus points...

Nah I have the RSD Pro it's definitely not polycoated, it's G1/2 willow so it wouldn't make sense to polycoat it.
-
is polycoat scuff sheet or fake grains ???
ANd please review the bat once you get it
-
Thanks guys , Just wanted to make sure its fake or not , I'm now convinced that it is genuine.How ever if you watch Jason's review you will see the bat he has is polycoated , maybe SG did polycoat some of the bats ,who knows..
SG RSD Pro cricket bat review by cricket store online (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPZvJzYvWmo#ws)
BTW I didn't get to use it yet but it pings well. Only got 5 1/2 grains and cost me £90 including shipping.
It is 2.8 so feels ultra light comparing to the other bats I have.
As promised here are the pictures
