Evening guys, just thought I would share a few pics of my new SLX players edition bat. Really love this bat and have had a soft spot ever since I knew it was being released.
This is a players model and is amazing off the mallet, really really pings very very well with an amazing sound, almost like a cannon. Thick edges and a high spine on the SLX. This is due to this model being slightly more concaved then most bats in the Salix range. Exceptional finish and I really really like the stickers on the SLX. Really minimal and allow the quality of the willow and the finish to be seen. I haven't weighed this as the pick up is so good I don't want to know lol. I would say around 2.9 - 2.10, finished with a single spiral which is my preferred grip. Here are some pics so hope you like the bat.

Looks lovely - nice grains but character too.
Chris, if I had such a link up with Salix, I'd be buying a bat a week from them!
