Title: New Salix Torque G1
Post by: JB on January 16, 2014, 09:33:57 PM
I got home tonight to the Torque G1 I bought from Lorimers a couple of weeks ago, after having it knocked in. The bat is 2.12 nice clean face with 10 grains. It rebounds nicely off the mallet and with a ball. Took pics next to my HitsHard Super Power.

I knew someone would comment on that! If someone brings alcohol to my house it would be rude not to drink it!!

Yeah I enjoyed it!  I loved  the torque...for me it's better than the CK22 and the rest of the bats in JB's partially because I just liked the pickup and shape
Title: Re: New Salix Torque G1
Post by: JB on January 19, 2014, 03:46:59 PM
The torque has a lovely feel. I need another grip on the CK22! It has a lovely long middle though. Need to get the HH & Aldred knocked in, you should have had a go with the toro dave! I fancy a Phantom or Carbine to go with it

He did 2 Sundays ago however this week I was more focused on playing in my python. My python surprised me with how good it actually is considering it's only just been knocked in and used yesterday and today, with drives they would have gone

Yeah me and Dan used it even before yourself haha! Daves very kind in that respect, he will let you use almost anything...I hope you know Dave your welcome to use any of my kit also - you could have used my strettons for review instead of forking out £70!

Post by: JB on January 19, 2014, 05:37:55 PM
I was already batting when Dave arrived, but was wanting to use the Torque anyway! Used 2 B3's of his in the last net we had. The one he posted on here that he cut the handle down on was a beauty!
