Title: The Bubble Old and New
Post by: Marc28 on October 29, 2013, 04:15:33 PM

Took a few pic's of two bats which will stay in my collection and will not be used ever but thought you would all like the contrast between the Old legendary Bubble and the New one.

You got your hands on one already? Cool!

How does the new bubble feel, pick up and ping?

for a 2lb 10 it feels really good and i have had the mallet on it a little and it pings very well and its only the Star model, This one will sit in my collection as i've ordered a Legend from Jake at Vitas but if the grains on the Legend look this good then i think the legend could be my starting bat next year for sure.

Good stuff, any chance of some profile shots close up and a toe upwards shot. The amount of concaving on the new version would be interesting to see.

As you asked nicely i will do as for the concaving there isn't much of a bow at all not entirely flat faced but still a really good shape from Kook

Really nice shape. Ugg I want one now.

Is it a sticker on the edge or a stamp mate?

I don't know what it is but there is something about the old one which is just magic :-[

This is really a great comparison of the old and the new. I cant believe how nice that new Bubble looks. Beautiful face and the shape is lush.

After shadow batting with it yesterday I do really really love the shape and feel of the new Bubble as it still feels like the old one just a little updated.
I'm still keen to see the new Powerspot just to see and feel it, but I know I will not be disappointed by the bat the lads at vitas select for me
