Title: Early Christmas Gift
Post by: yvk3103 on December 08, 2013, 09:29:20 PM
Just got this bat.

Had to beg and plead for this bat when I visited Salix. When I picked the bat up, it felt like 2lb10oz. Was told it was heavier, but didn't believe it until I put it on the scales where it showed 2lb12oz.

Love the profile and the middle seems everywhere (under the stickers).

As good as all my AJKs (including the custom made AJK).

The only thing I can say is that it is stickered as a Players. As far as I recall this was a photo bat.

Why can you not post pictures?
Title: Re: Early Christmas Gift
Post by: yvk3103 on December 08, 2013, 10:14:15 PM
Why can you not post pictures?

Because the brand does not want me to put the pictures up.

Can't go into any further details on here.

Vinay, I will share more details with you when I see you late this month. Will get that bat with me as well.

Yes it is his bat but I would hope out of respect you would not post pics if you were asked, especially if the maker did you a favour in letting you have it in the first place.

Exactly my point.

I have been done a favour based on a trust. So can't and will not.

Beautiful grains on the bat. Really looks nice with one in the center and 4 on the either side (specially when you look at the toe). Salix bats are top quality.

Great looking stick. I love the way the grains run nice and straight through the toe of the bat. Should be a good un!

If the manufacturer doesn't want you to post pics, it surprises me that you'd even mention it! You must've known that people on here would be curious about it and thus draw attention to a bat that the manufacturer (for whatever reason) wants to keep hush hush!

Seems a bit strange to me...  ???

Yet another lovely looking bat from Salix, reminds me I need to knock mine in before winter nets start

I thought from your recent sales threads that you needed to shift bats rather than buy new ones though mate?

I used to have an S3 custom that was a very similar shape to that had a huge middle! on the "hush hush" bat..... one way you can guarantee you will never get another is to break that trust mate as you are saying..... I have have been lucky enough to have special access down there for a number of years now and trust me.... its pays to be quiet ;-)

Really like the shape, it's good to see some proper photos! Sometimes the publicity photos don't show the shape as well
