Received the bat today.
Lovely shape and feel to it, ping is brilliant all the way through to toe.
Grain wise, can't complaint on looks.
But it is going back as it weights 2.8.7 with 1 grip, scuff sheet and some extra bat tape on toe. I bought under the assumption that it was 2.6
Before I packed it, I took some ceremonial pics
-
You are sending it back? Wow.
Take the toe guard off and it will nearly be only an oz over weight
-
Real shame that is a lovely shape
These normally pick up very well
-
Sending that back? I would see what it like at nets first, these pick up brilliantly. Looks very nice bay indeed.

Is it just me that thinks he was being sarcastic in the sending it back bit ? :)

haha 2.8 onwards is heavy for me
-
Unless it's a custom These bat weights start at 2lb 8 ounce.
-
How much was it? Thousands would buy it on here!
-
Think he paid around £160 all in

165 or 163 posted mate.
Compared to vortex it picks a tad heavy and ping is similar but Salix definitely has longer middle.
-
It's a matter of grams mate... 6% increase in dead weight only
-
May I suggest changing the grip?
I've had a few bats that didn't feel right until I replaced the grip with a fish scale one. Chevron and GM ripple grips seem to be the worst. I picked up a few grips from both Jake and H4L and they've saved me making rash decisions.

you could be right, with gloves it feels slightly better but just not the wand like feel I am used to working with.

You mean the Vortex from Mr. Fattus? Thanks for the reminder you beat me to it. ;)

If you are looking for a light Salix we have plenty, some as light as 2'5.
They aren't used or £165 though :D

Haven't ever had time to list them. We are getting a new website in due course so adding/removing products on the current one has fallen by the wayside somewhat

Explain please? I never knew they stocked Salix until this post.

They posted about going to pick Salix, I requested one, I got it, simples.
It's not uncommon for a store to not have everything they stock online, we don't. Facebook is probably just as powerful now as an online tool, easier to pop things up that might have just come in.

Kingsgrove sports.

It is the future!
I follow vitas, Uzi, owzat, kingsgrove etc all on the social media platforms, most days you just scroll by, but like skip says, every now and then something catches your eye and you think. Wow and make contact.
It beats logging onto there site and searching for newly added products every day.

Makes sense but I always look at stores websites and I'll tell you this for free, if I don't know you sell something I'm not going to buy it.

Standard stock and high stock items yes.
But rare and limited items, say the Warners/50+ are gonna be gone within the week due to social media, and before they even get chance to think about updating the website.
And aslong as there selling them, there happy, that's the aim of the game.

Most stores I have seen have the Warners etc for pre order. That would be a better option IMO. What ever works.

Well I was showing pics to a close friend, he came over and liked the bat so much, bought it off me straight away.

Haha had a few PM offers even though this wasnt a for sale post and what people forget is that I was returning it so makes no difference to me money wise.
My mate uses it in match today and hit a 30, his highest score this season I think so very pleased with it.
