Hey,
I've seen a puma iridium 6000 bat i like and wanted to know if any of you guys had pics of your puma bat whether its a 6000, 5000 or 4000.
Cheers

Why ?
-
because i want to see the quality of willow and the difference between 4000, 5000 & 6000 willow.
also i would be gettin it off the internet so,
-
Thought you were going to a shop and getting 15% off what are already cheap prices ? go to a shop and buy a bat dont get it over the Internet if you want to ensure you get a nice bit of willow as i find puma quality can change a fair bit across bats of the same standard.

Yeah but i really want a good puma and the cheapest in my store is £200 which is a 5000 2010 version but i can get a 09 version 6000 from the internet for £136.
-
Does it have to be an Iridium as i know of a rather nice Tribute 5000 which is superb and cheap.

i like the tribute where from and any pics ?
-
From me and its brand new, bought it near end of last season as i had broken my match bat and wanted something to use and not bother knocking it in but i didn't use it. I hand picked it from over 100 bats so i can guarantee its good. It is on ebay with pics.

Buy the 09 version then and get a "better" bat just with older stickers. Stop being a tart!!!

looks good...
-
How am i being a tart ?
-
Hand picked as i said so its very good, and i have genuine reason why its up for sale and guarantee it 100%.
-
Maybe I misread it, but if you can get a 6000 for £136, or a 5000 for £200, what is the logical choice aside from stickers?
No offence meant by the way...

Ok No Worries. But the willow will prob be better on 6000 but its off the internet but i can pick up the 5000 in store so what you think?

-

-
puma 6000 will be very good

So 6000 (09) From Web or 5000(2010) from store ?
-
6000 from any year everytime over a 5000
-
6000 from any year everytime over a 5000
but its from the web and i wont be able to pick it up or anything but if i got a 5000 from my store then i can pick it up and feel it to see if its wright.
Also i want to get a puma helmet from kitbag but how long does the standard delivery take ?
-
nickroe will back me up on this, my puma ballistic was an absolute beaut
-
get the 6000, it has to be better, unless you go and pick them both up and prefer one to another that is.
-

Ok What is the weight of that puma ?
-
2.8
-
Light ??
Also i just rang Solitaire cricket and spoke to Roger. hes a top bloke and said its £100 for a bat and im very very tempted to get one.
i've heard very good reviews on CricketSupplies Forum and just wondered if anyone has any comments on here .
its really between :
Puma Iridium 6000
Kookaburra Kahuna 600 (2010)
GN Ignite Carbo (2010)
Soliatire Bat Custom Made.
Please Someone let me know if you have any comments on any of these bats.
I Have a £160-£170 to spend on a bat so anything about the £190-£200 mark would be good as i get 15% off as ill be purchasing from my local store.
Cheers

LB ive just ordered a solitaire from Roger 110 quid posted, got it done to the profile of an adidas incurza, seedy has ordered 2 . . .heard nothing but good things about Roger and like you said mind was made up after talking to him.
-
i aint convinced by solitaire, am buying soon to find out. just get downto the store, pick some bats up, knock em with a mallet, buy the best! dont look at the blinkin stickers!
-
Nice i got offered some adidas incurza stickers so might get them and get adidas profile.
post pics when u get it.
also what did u send him to get him to copy the adidas incurza
-
Yeah i guess its a punt and i wonder why/how he can produce a G1 for £100 but lets see.

my thought exactly.... the old saying "if its too good to be true then it probably is...."
-
who offered you the stickers?
Not sure when i'll get it but will do a review when i get it
Just sent him a load of pics of the incurza and a description of the profile.
-
Yeah i guess but reviews suggest he's good and he has huge experience of making bats. SOunds like he used to make bats for Duncan Fearnley . . .
-
ever seen a good duncan fearnley? (dont mean that funnily just asking as i dont think i've ever seen a duncan fearnley so i dont know!)
-
Never even seen a DF either if im honest! haha
Maybe some older forum members could help us out . . . haha
-
older guy on one of the local teams is using a DF loves it wouldn't get anything other than DF his current bat hes had for 5 yrs still going strong..
-
don't know if these are original or not..

-
Fair enough im sure they were a big player once. . . a lot of older england players used them
Yeah thats the problem. . . a lot say they are genuine but can you trust em? Only place ive found for stickers are GCCC but they cost a fortune when you take P&P into account
-
So i want everyone to answer
1. Get a Solitaire bat with their own stickers shaped like a icon or iridium.
OR
2. Get a Solitaire bat with Adidas Incurza stickers and get it shaped like a Incurza and dont say "it will be fake and why not buy a Real" basiclly adidas bats r overpriced and all the pros sticker up there bats so why not us.
Cheers

are you not able to make a decision yourself?

The pros get paid to sticker up their bats. If they didn't get paid to, they wouldn't. I'm not having a go, I'm just answering one of your questions.
I'd definitely go with Option 1 since the Icon and Iridiums that I've picked up both had a great feel to them.

ok well i might still get the Puma Iridium 6000 what u think ?

Icon I picked up at my local shop felt good, as did the hero. Although saying this my friend has a Hunts County Glory Custom, very underrated I got 44* off 30 and it was mainly the bat, awesome.
