Title: Bat Stash
Post by: Andythomo21 on January 30, 2016, 08:23:48 PM: A teammate of mine has often talked of his collection of 100+ bats but to be honest, not too many of us believed him.

Anyway, tonight I had the pleasure of going to have a look at them, and they're real and very impressive! He's wanting to free up some cash to buy an engagement ring so I took a few off his hands.

Considering most of the bats I've taken are top models, rare, limited editions, oz imports etc, it gives you an idea of some of the bats he's kept!

Many of the bats are unused, some used only in nets and some have had match use.

PICS :

Thought he'd be on here to be honest but he isn't and doesn't seem too interested?

Was quite surprised at what big chunks of wood the maxis are! Suppose hence the name?
