I would say that is a very successful outing. She will love that as a present!

That's my idea of Christmas shopping for the wife!! I dropped my daughter off at the sister in laws earlier, she lives 100 yards from just sport in Newcastle. It would've been rude not to go in!! Didn't buy anything but they did have some nice Salix bats in stock that were very light as well as some very nice B3 mulls. They had a very ropey looking new Test model GN.

Only 20 mins deliberating on a bat.... not sure whether I'm impressed with the self restrain or disgusted at your lack of time spent!

Lovely shape and cracking grains, I'm sure she'll love it haha.

Note to self: I must pick up that H4L Warbird the Mrs is always going on about....

And if she really doesn't like it, well I guess I could always use it....
