Title: Views on this new BAT plz
Post by: gaurav23 on September 26, 2015, 02:32:03 PM
Bought this SG Cobra max few days back. Just got done knocking it.
Specs - 38mm edges, 55mm Spine height, weighs 2lb 9oz. mid to low sweet spot, as full as an Indian made can be.

Additional info would be that it's a very traditional face, didn't absorb the second coat of oil so not over dried for sure. Pings amazingly well & is very softly pressed.

P.S - for reasons unknown, my last purchase - a GN Omega bat didn't draw many comments. Good or bad, let it out guys. Might just help me & others for future purchases.
Thanks.

Looks good but if you want us to say something you need to show the profile :)

From that picture what can be said is nice looking bat with nice straight grains.

a few more pics of the bat, source of the bat & service experience & you'll see more comments coming in. Looks a decent bat, depends on how much you paid for it.

Some nice grains there, a few blemishes, what grade do they sell it as? Profile pics would be nice.

Bought it for around 90 pounds from a SG Authorised retailer here in India.
The only real blemish on the whole bat is on d back of the bat - spotless otherwise. Grains on the back are about equally aligned with the face on the bat.

The only error I made was that I spilled a few drops of a chemical on 1 side of d face, the marks of which just won't go. Don't intend to hard sand it but.

For 90 quid that is an absolute steal. Hope you get loads of runs from it.

I got a cobra max for around £80ish and it went really well.

If it wasnt for team mates continuously borrowing it, it would still be my main bat.

For the price looks to be a bargain - hope it plays as good as it looks!

90£ for a SG Cobra is a bargain. Here in Dubai, its close to 150£.

SG mid range bats are usually better value.

In UK you can get them from around £100 - £125

Bought it off the shelf mate.
Unlike ever, SG ain't concaving it's bats at all. Even the aggressor series is very very full. I'd say it's the UK effect - good though.

It taps up pretty well her gerhard - I'd say it equals my 2.11 GN Omega but the GN is kinda harder pressed so I am expecting it to open up more.

@gaurav23 sounds very promising! Make sure you update us after you've had a couple of nets with it!  :)
