Title: I think I need to see a shrink
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on May 26, 2014, 05:40:57 PM
See bat, say I don't need another bat, buy bat!

Just picked up an proper shape Purist 606 on eBay.
The seller told me its 1.2kg (just over 2lb10?) but then said 2lb12.
So it's a lucky dip on weight but I've bagged myself a Purist, not sure if I'm ecstatic about the bat or worried about the weight now!

It's only 2 oz.
Chuck another grip on and it'll feel like your 2.10.

Was going to put a half chevron and ripple on anyway so shouldn't be an issue. Can't wait for it to arrive haha

Less than £40 so I'm pleased with that!

That's not "just another bat"! That's more of your classic!
So well done....no shrink required  ;)

Cheers Pete, been waiting for a reasonable one to come up in my price range for a while now, couldn't resist this one!

No with all the will in the world - I am not sure Pete is the right man here.

Pete is a great bloke and a bat enthusiast.

but the right person to judge whether you have a bat buying problem, I am really not sure.   ??? :o :o ???
 :D

the questions is... do you play enough games to use the bats you have? So far I have used a new bat in each game I have played... and still have an Icon to try. argggh
