Cheers

Oh God! You don't expect us to read all the posts in a thread do you? Especially the first ones - they're like, totally miles away!

potentially good deals here, it's a gamble but worth taking as they may last a season, and as I found out to my cost.....storm damage is not always noticed when buying any bat form any manufacturer.
Title: Re: Storm Damaged Bats
Post by: Bats_Galore on June 18, 2016, 06:25:18 PM: Got my st profile storm damaged bat yesterday. Frankly I am quite stunned. I somehow had never considered buying a b and s bat before this came up, however the tap up is right up there. Will definitely be buying another as soon as this snaps. Amazing bat.

Post by: cricketbadger on June 24, 2016, 11:18:20 PM: Could you perhaps stick some photos up of the remaining Bats? Those 2 above look awesome
Title: Re: Storm Damaged Bats
Post by: Sivlar13 on July 11, 2016, 06:35:42 PM: Some more storm damaged sticks from Gary. Got some superb reviews from these, many have faced hundreds of balls without any damage at all. These three are an absolute steal for £80 a piece.

The profile is that of the new Scorch shape for next season.

Post by: Biggie Smalls on July 12, 2016, 11:56:18 AM: Hi . I sent a message ( not sure if it worked or not ) . Im interested in buying 2 storm damaged bats . My hope/preferences are scorch profile . In message i sent i stated preferably 2lb7-2lb8ish - but if i can only get heavier ie 2lb10 or so im still interested (id take them to a local bat maker for a weight reduction ) . If someone could get back to me re availability and approx shipping to Sydney Au that would be great . Thanks .

Some people are addicted to drugs, I like buying bats then selling them on for a loss when I realise I have too many. As far as addictions go mine isn't doing anyone any harm and it keeps me off the street! ;)

what is storm damage and how can it effect a bat by the way?

Windy conditions cause some trees(ones without wind protection) to blow, bending and moving excessively, this create small weak points in the willow.

On a bat this manifest itself as small lines. Visible to a trained Person.

It can weaken the blade to a point it will snap on impact(I.e carberry in the ashes, Plunkett recently in dramatic fashion. But on other occasions it will last a few years and never give issues.

A gamble some will take for a cut down price, as they do tend to perform well up until the inevitable.
