Title: Ugliest bat that's gone like anything.
Post by: toby176 on January 06, 2016, 03:54:50 PM: We see a lot of beautiful, beautiful bats on this forum.

So it's about time some of the uglier bats get some recognition I say, because we can't all get stunners.

Has anyone had an absolute cracker of a bat but with a face only a number 11 could love? Am considering a new bat, and kinda want some testimonies on a lower grade (and price) bat that has perhaps been picked on performance.

Would love to see some pictures!

Used this V5 last season, it absolutely flew from ball one. You can pick them up for 65 quid now at SD.

Post by: Gurujames on January 06, 2016, 08:40:25 PM: This is my ugliest bat. However, it has fantastic pick up and excellent performance. It was this bat that confirmed for me that the grade of willow has no impact on performance. It was also the bat that got me playing the pull shot again. Finally, it was the bat that made me realise that the dead weight of a bat has very little impact on the way it feels.

I didn't think you were registered in the Bahamas. It's just when I look at the background I see a cabin. I was wondering where it was.

A Lami-toe? All your own work, nice.
