Title: Canterbury Weapon 500- Review
Post by: ianbuchanan on December 19, 2009, 05:20:12 PM
Bat Canterbury Weapon 500 (No. 270)

Specs


Price In the Sale £100 Brand New! The shops RRP for it was £300!

Performance Can't say too much about the performance, as I only got it this morning and havn't used it, however hit a ball up with it and sounds very promising! Seems like the middle is huge with decent ping.

No I meant to quote you then say:
Naughty naught they should have been destroyed, as all Canterbury goods should not be being sold anymore.
But I clicked edit instead of quote so ended up losing your post.

Does Canterbury offers other bats as well in their range or only the 500? they are quite hard to find.
Thanks

They no longer sell cricket kit, not even sure they sell clothing. The price of expanding too fast.

Pity, because their cricket clothing was actually pretty good.
Title: Re: Canterbury Weapon 500- Review
Post by: Talisman on January 10, 2010, 08:46:15 PM
Not that rare, I have one here and there are a few floating around.
Title: Re: Canterbury Weapon 500- Review
Post by: ianbuchanan on January 10, 2010, 10:17:12 PM
yeah i suppose, but there were only 500 made and eventually they'll die out...
Title: Re: Canterbury Weapon 500- Review
Post by: Talisman on January 10, 2010, 10:19:19 PM
It's weird how with only 500 how many people on here have or have had one.

I just love their clothing line, might do some last minute orders soon and try to get my hand on one of those bats
