Title: Guess the grade and bat time
Post by: e4sby on March 18, 2016, 02:35:58 PM
Seen as it's Friday afternoon and we're getting spanked to all parts of Mumbai I thought I'd stick on a bat I received today.

Didn't really need one but couldn't resist this one for the price....

I'll let the photo do the talking

Two questions....

What grade is the bat?

Guess the manufacturer?

Manufacturer or brand?

The square toe and black toe guard does lead me to agree on the new balance guess. The DC 580

My guess is that it's a cricket bat!

Some kind of low end Kook at a guess (Verve 350?)

Why does every think it's a low Grade? I would buy those grains every day of the week!

As strange as it sounds I guessed it was a low grade model because it looks like a top end bat!
I assumed it was a low grade bargain, otherwise there wouldn't be much point playing guess the grade. (Unless e4sby is double bluffing us)

I wish it was a Laver, my week at Cheltenham wasn't that good....

I wouldn't dream of double bluffing anyone on here....

Will post some pictures of the actual bat very soon....

Looking at the toe New Balance but it could be Spartan

It's a New Balance DC580+

I bought it after being told it was between 2.7 - 2.8 it's actually half an ounce off 2.10! Too heavy for my pissy weak wrist!

I've got to be honest I only bought the bat cos I love the grains and the stickers! I really hoped it was going to be 2.7 - 2.8 in weight and was gutted when I received it today and it was closer to 2.10.

It's a bargain for a bottom of the range bat, if I didn't have 3 seriously decent bats I would persevere with the NB - this will come to a for sale section near you unfortunately!

Seriously impressed by the performance of the bat, tapped a ball on it today and it is softly pressed but love the sound that it makes.

Might have to go to a decent NB stockist to hand pick a light bat - the stickers alone are head and shoulders above anything on the market .
