It's my 30th birthday today and my wife has arranged for me to go to Salix and get a bat made today! I'll try and get some pictures and post them up here once I've got the bat :-)
-
Superb present that, what a day that will be. I'm 100% you are going to come away with one of the best bats this forum has ever seen.
While your there there is a question on the forum called grains v grade ... Maybe you could get kember's expert opinion
-
I will ask them their opinion, genuinely excited tbh
-
Happy 30th you are officially one of the old boys now ;) :D
-
Thanks mate, being 30 seemed so far away all those years ago..... Maybe it's time to finally grow up!
-
Wait till you hit 45 like me this year... Creaky bones and all hehe

Growing old is compulsory, growing up is optional

Yeah she's done well tbf, she took me up to lords yesterday and did the tour of the ground too
-
She is a lucky woman to have a good man like you... Let her know I said that haha
-
I'm in love with your wife!!
She takes you for a tour of Lords, and treats you to custom experience at Salix!!
Never let that woman go fella!!!! If she's a good cook too, then you have found the perfect woman!
Enjoy Salix and if you get a bat anything like mine, then you'll love it!
-
you should stop off at the jeweller on the way home. she is a keeper!
-
Wondering how I can get my wife to read this thread without making it too obvious...
-
I'm expecting a flow of pictures throughout the day!
-
I was telling my wife about this thread and she said "shoosh the footy is about to start"
-
Happy Birthday mate and wow what a lovely present to get, looking forward to the pics
-
It was a very good experience, took a couple of snaps and the bat I've got coming (Pod players) looks a beaut! The guys at Salix were very friendly and helped select a bat and make it exactly how I wanted. Like how they recommended the grade one first saying they'd perform just as well as players but a players would look nicer
-
Oh and the bat will be ready to pick up in a week so full pictures then. Also picked up their gloves and pads too.
-
Which pads did you get? Been looking at getting some pod players but not sure if there much difference from others in the range.
-

Agree, maybe you could marry her again!
-
Happy birthday! And welcome to club 30!
-
Wowww - my wife would burn my bats for firewood if I ever went away for an extended period. Not a chance I'm ever getting a cricket related birthday gift.
-
I got the pod players pads and gloves.
Pictures below, i only took a few but the face of the bat i'll be receiving

Happy Birthday fella - looks a lovely bat!
If its half as good as any of my Salix/AJK bats, then the bat will be a keeper (as well as the wife!)
Mine goes like a train! (I'm talking about the bat this time....not the wife!) ;)
Hope to see more pictures soon.

Was working at Salix this morning before my game and saw this bat this morning. Wow this is a quality stick, the pick up and ping off the mallet is unreal. You picked a really good stick there mate.
