Post by: liscon12 on September 19, 2015, 12:25:39 PM

Looks lovely, can't quite tell with all the pricing stickers on it, but looks like it should at least be a solid G2, if not a G1. The Fusion model is a G3-4 I believe, I think some people got some bargain V1200 Fusions here a season or 2 ago, were like £20 each!

It is a lottery. Plan B is to buy more than 1 and hope one comes in at the right weight. Plan C is ebay. I doubt you will lose money and you might make a few quid after fees. That said, if there was a profit in it then Sports Direct would be doing it themselves.

comes at a cost. No preference for weight or a chance to pick it up. It is a total lottery and pretty short lived. For a net bat it's great, but I wouldn't buy my match bat from Sports Direct!

I always intended to get a new one for 2016 if the price was right as I'm a skint recent uni graduate!!! f18 was my weapon of choice so my eyes lit up when I saw it but it looks as if from adding it to my basket to finding my card someone snapped it up! Nightmare!

When for a six6 and a Xcell 100. Lets see..

How can shipping from Uk to Denmark be so little! :D

I have been out all day with the kids (half term) and have bitter sweet feelings about missing these sports direct discounts today - on one hand I really don't need any more kit especially after buying the Aldred bat and gloves last week, but on the other hand I hate missing a deal  ;)

I hope you all get great bats.

which is why I'm not overly bothered about my £20 bat being cancelled. At the worst, I missed out on a decent GM. At best I missed out on a bit of a plank!
