Title: My new gm aura eBay bargain
Post by: simonmay5 on March 21, 2015, 05:19:53 PM
I saw this on eBay and decided to have a sneaky bid the bat is 2.9 with 14 grains and has a pickup index off 2 first thoughts it feels really good off the mallet and think I got a good deal for the price I payed

Looks a lovely stick that Simon

As for pressing I think it's a bit pot luck sometimes. I've had a few (10 give or take!) GMs and of those two were softer pressed. Not knowing the process im guessing they have a universal setting on the press, and as all willow is different you get done natural variation. That is all made up by me though so take what you will from the theory haha

Looks a snip for 165 to be fair.

Buying off ebay for that money is brave.

Remember linking this on the Ebay bargain thread, looked very promising and glad it's turned out to be a good buy for you.

Wow, amazing buy!
I wondered who had got this, I messaged her too- don't think she quite knew what she had in her hands!

Think what we have he is the age old issue that plagues a man.  A woman selling a man's willow for the price he claimed it had cost him.
