Delighted with the results of the refurbishment by Salix.

Lovely looking bat. Is there a back story to it?
How long did the refurb take?

That's like saying a new bat thread is pointless before you have used it.

Well, it isn't because a new bat is new. A refurbished bat, you want something to compare it to before and after if you will

Really?
This is a new bat post
I have a new bat, here are pictures...
This is the above
I have had my bat refurbished, here are the pictures...
With the new bat post, I can see new bat pictures by Googling them. They are on all types of cricket-shop websites where you can see them. You want the individual to say whether it plays well or not, how it feels after it's been knocked in etc.

Did you have a heavy night last night?
A new bat post, yes pictures of a new bat. Looking at bats on google isn't the same. I'm sure you know this.
A refurbished bat is completely different, you want to see the work that's gone into the bat and how nicely it's come up after the work thats gone into it.

Not quite an immediate "before", this is it though in a used condition, second from the left.

Refurb was cosmetic, there was no damage to the bat.

We're back to the "afters" here

Details are on the Salix website. The timeframe is variable.

I had planned ahead, so the bat is ready for the start of the season.

A beautiful bat Alan
-
Thank you.
There was no structural damage to it, not used a great deal, just was in a scruffy condition - missing or scuffed labels, uneven face where I had removed the face sheet and resulting from a wet weather match, dirty and worn grip.
It was the very top of the Salix range when it was made, prior to the Players and Finite being added.
Felt, therefore, it was worthwhile to restoring to an as new condition, which I feel it has. Plus a new grip and anti-scuff fitted both of which are top quality.

I am partial to a nice Salix!
Lovely bat fella

I can confirm this is indeed a lovey bat, Alan you kept it in amazing condition. Was also good to meet you yesterday mate, another forum member with a face ticked off the list.
-
Good to meet you, too, Chris.
Salix an appropriate location to do so.
Enjoyed the opportunity to compare the bat range on display, both Salix and HitsHard.
They all looked impressive, regardless of their grade and price.
Pleased to find some what are nowadays retro Pod One pads too, they are good quality and fit well.
Will picture my Salix kit / HitsHard bat together soon.

Great pics :)

Great finish. Wish I could get mine looking that clean and natural. That's craftsmanship.

That's a nice collection you've got there mate. The Warsop on the far right seems quite chunky!
-
Thank you, that picture was from early 2013.
Only the Salix and Kahuna Players will still be with me this season.
The Kahuna far left is closing on ebay soon.
The 5 others have all been sold already.
The Warsop weighed in at 3lb 6oz and is in the hands of another Forum member nowadays.
-
Didn't you have a GN powerbow, Alan? ???
-
Yes, that isn't in the picture though, was referring to those only in that the line up.
Will this week post some photographs of the current streamlined portfolio, which will indeed include the GN Powerbow Strauss LE.
-
Nice to meet you at the workshop too Alan, hope to see you down there again in the future
-
Thank you, likewise, certainly hope to return one day.

That Warsop looks nice, any chance of a profile picture mate?
