Title: Mongoose Rebel
Post by: jwebber86 on November 01, 2013, 12:13:40 AM: Just saw that they are releasing a new mongoose bat called the rebel and wondered if anybody has seen or heard anything about it?

i have seem a small write up basically saying its a new bat and combines the other 3 bats they already sell

Either way I quite like the look of it.

Post by: jwebber86 on November 01, 2013, 08:49:22 AM: i was certain my next bat would be from a small manufacturer but i do quite like the rebel. i have 2 other mongooses and they really ping. i have developed something of a soft spot for their bats

Post by: Gingerbusiness on November 01, 2013, 08:53:50 AM: I'm of the other view point - I dislike the shape and styling of this bat.

Looks like a fence post!

Post by: Howzat on November 01, 2013, 02:42:06 PM: Looks like a horrible pakistani bat with Mongoose stickers on it! Has a full size splice showing so goes against what mongoose have done previously!

Post by: mr_wickets on November 01, 2013, 02:51:12 PM: one thing about those pics I noticed is the wood doesn't look the best. Seeing some of the bats mongoose have done in the past and used for their promo shots, they usually look a lot better than this.

Post by: simonmay5 on November 01, 2013, 08:32:53 PM: I hate the look off the stickers seems a bit off a afterthought not my cup off tea

Post by: smokem on November 02, 2013, 04:58:57 PM: Sorry to rant, but the one thing that annoys me with that image is the blade height of the 3 views are all different. Pretty average photography and photoshop composite job for a brand like Mongoose.
