i generally like the look of hunts bat but certainly not this one and i like things that have lots of colour.
-
The back sticker makes my eyes hurt :( Not the most successful retro bat on the market.
-
I can't see the Adidas Pellara flying off the shelves somehow...

It's a shame on those Adidas stickers! They generally (going on the last 4 or 5 years now) make excellent bats!
I have had 2 Incurza Elites that have both been superb profiles and had sublime response! And even had a friends lower grade Incurza (Club or County, can't remember) which went beautifully too!
So they can certainly make decent bats and the pressing is quality. But those stickers............... :(
-
I really like the Turbo personally.
I think there may be a few GN Nemesis bats knocking about. That's not to say they are bad bats, but a bit like the GM Zona, many people will look at them and say "nope"
-
You are right there! The GM Zona just looks a bit too "different", and the Nemesis is the same!
The Zona reminds me a little bit of the the Laver Ultra and I see these as very Marmite....Love 'em or hate 'em!
But I won't say too much as I have an Ultra Rerserve and no complaints there!! So I love both the Ultra AND the Marmite! ;)
I do admire GN and GM (and Laver) for trying something different!
-
i do agree with the nemesis even though i have ordered one for myself, certainly not for everybody
i really like the look of previous adidas bat the new stickers look awful.

Please can I ask where this picture was taken? I'm interested in the slatwall accessories :)
-
I think they are the slat walls at the little shop at Hunts. I can ask where they got the accessories? I am there tomorrow.
-
Ah, yes please. I'm trying to work out the best way to display bats, so that customers can easily take them down and they can easily be put back up again ... without spending a fortune!
Are we the only two people up at this time?
-
We had a nice custom bat rack built, but yeah this was expensive.
The triangular slat wall bat stands are cool, but pricey!
These look to be a nice solution, I'll ask tomorrow for you.
My Borderline insomnia is back, coupled with a bad back is what is keeping me up! Surprised there arent more Aussie members on at the moment. Start of the season for them.

No i'm still up as well, working nights, oh the joy.
What can you see being the big sellers this year as i agree the Hunts and Adidas look horrific, stickers especially
-
Impulse, Bubble, Powerspot, Six6, not necessarily in that order.
The oblivion E41 has been very popular on pre-order.
I like the CK22 and I think it will be popular amongst the M&H crowd, won't be a big seller due to the high end pricing. It's more than a Master.

I thought between the Bubble and Powerspot as i did preorder one before going for the other, any orders on the new Slaz range Jake as i do like the profile on the V5 but the softs look shall we say different
-
Its the retro bubble the same as the bubble II?
-
I reckon that the CK22 will be the desirable bat which will sell ok but most will have the "I could never spend that much on a bat" thought to steer them clear of it.
I also think that the uk bubble will make the running but there will be a surprise or two from the Salix stable that may prove popular!! Before anyone asks, I know nothing! But I feel that Salix or/and someone else will serve up a few special treats towards Christmas! I feel it in my water!!

Before ordering a Bubble i did look at the Affinity Toro which looks a belting bat, or also B3 custom, but fell for the Bubble hook line and sinker.

And still all but invisible on line!

Steve said to email him and he may be able to dig out the company they used, but they are very old accessories. They are made of metal too!
