Title: Affinity Ayrtek Edition Bat
Post by: Drupy01 on August 19, 2015, 06:19:54 PM: Hi just wondered if anybody has bought/used the affinity Ayrtek edition bats and what they thought about it.

I know the bat is pretty old but I got in touch with Affinity and requested for one, I hope I made the right decision.

Can't recommend them highly enough, great service & top bats

Post by: JB on August 19, 2015, 08:19:34 PM: Toro was the first affinity I bought, got an 8 ball 21 last Friday! Didn't really middle anything properly

I've got the softs as well which are excellent, I'll do a review of the new ones when I get a minute

Post by: Drupy01 on August 19, 2015, 08:30:48 PM: Great!! Looks like I've made a really good choice!
I'm be asked for my weight to be 2-11, are they big bats?

Yeah let us know about the softs, I'm interested in getting the full lot.

At 2.11 it will hit the ball a long way!

Post by: Drupy01 on August 19, 2015, 08:45:13 PM: Hopefully I just need to use it properly! Should be a big bat at 2-11.

I think the stickers are probably the best on the market.

Title: Re: Affinity Ayrtek Edition Bat
Post by: JB on August 19, 2015, 08:50:48 PM: The ayrtek model has quite thick shoulders so the pick up should be very good. Mine picks up well for being over 3lb.

Think there is a toe up shot in that link, it is concaved but only lightly. I'll take some photos of the softs, used them in a few games and they are excellent

Are they bulky the pads? I prefer pads that mould to your leg.

Post by: ilanz_bess on August 19, 2015, 11:29:34 PM: I've got an Ayrtek Edition bro, it's the first of my four, and it picks up like a dream. It weighs around 2 13 but feels more like 2 9. Its pretty similar to the Carbine but with a slight amount of concaving and thicker shoulders. Think I read somewhere it was designed that way to aid openers especially, but I could be wrong...either way you won't be disappointed! Word of caution, be prepared because it may become an addiction :D
