Title: SS Gutsy
Post by: tommo256 on May 18, 2015, 04:29:54 PM

Afternoon,

So over the weekend I acquired a new Ton gutsy, via a team mate!
To put it bluntly, the bat is a gun and for the money I paid, possibly up there as bargain of the century!
The specs, its 2-9, has 15 lovely grains, duck bill with a minimal amount of concaving!
My biggest like is the proper stamped edges, and seeing as the bat is probably gonna end up a blank it makes it look lovely!
My main dislike is the amount of ruddy stickers SS feel they have to put on the bats, its a stupid amount!
But I will let pics do the talking

Not bad at all if you got it on a good price.

Having took it to a mate of mine who's a carpenter to have the stickers off, quick bit of sanding and some buffing!
It has now come back blank and looks even better IMO

Just gotta pick up a scuff sheet or two tomorrow, unless any forumites can get them delivered to me by saturday morning?
