Post by: Simmy on September 30, 2014, 09:21:02 AM
Well.. you know the drill you dont need a new bat you have plently...

but then u see something that u simply cant say no to!

I popped round to Ryans the other day after training and he showed me what he had been upto in his shed... ohhhh urrrrr  :o.

What i was presented with was 2 lovely big bats at the same weight!

one of them i simply had to have!

so here they are

one with purple handle is mine...

white one is one of our team mates!

will drop the profile shots in a bit!

Welcome back Simmy.

Your work is a panacea to the grainy photos we mere camera phone wielding mortals post on here.

Ryan - these look awesome. Top stuff.

Ryan's finishing seems to be getting better and better... Pity we don't see too many on here lately

Simmy has lost an oz! - normally takes a 2'12 minimum. Do I spy a duck billed toe?

Massive oversight from Simdog with no toe up shot to see the concaving. Pull yourself together lol

Quality looking pair of sticks there, long flowing shape which I like in a bat.

Good luck with them, no excuse if you don't get a shed load of runs next season!

I'd agree - and all this on one leg!

The shoulderless bat he did for me is a right ping-bugger!!!

I'm not legless anymore, we'll except Saturday nights :p

Thanks fattus, can't really take credit for the ping...its all down to the pressing.

.......and of course the sublime timing of the batting athlete at the other end of it.
