Title: Some Phantom Goodies!
Post by: chrisbd on December 10, 2015, 09:27:55 PM

All,

Chris here, in my unofficial capacity - nothing to do with IJC here.

My contract with GN has expired, so I decided to have a look towards a brand I have a good relationship with - Phantom.

The red stickers are their refurb stickers, the bat is an Omega XRD Pro Grade - the grains are mental.

The Dark Edition is something special - 2'7, and full, and large sized too.

The finishing on the refurbs and the bats that they offer is brilliant - I personally think they are amongst the best looking bats, visually, on the market!

Lucky to have these in the collection, what do you all think?

The phantom stickers work surprisingly well on the omega back contouring!

Thanks guys - I'll pass on the feedback to the guys at Phantom. I'm glad that the forum has got to see some of the stunners in the flesh (so to speak!)

They look great Chris, I really like the Phantom branding, something a bit different to the usual.

Phantom have some of the best stickers on the market imo. Especially the shadow in purple. Makes me feel funny every time I see them

Not my cup of tea, the back stickers do look far superior than the front stickers though

The back stickers, the toe sticker, the logo design of the helmet are amazing, all up my alley and spot on.


Unfortunately the front sticker shouts "I copied affinty" too much. Me personally would redesign the front to have similar features to the bacl(I.e the side cut outs to make it like like a scaled spine type thing)

I like the branding!
But not as much as I love the profile on that Dark Edition.....that looks superb!

I may be in the minority here, but I'm not a massive fan of the stickers. As Chris said, maybe if the front and back were the same they'd look better.
Willow itself looks top drawer though.

No denying Phantom know how To maKe a bat.
