Title: 2 modern classics
Post by: Tom on October 14, 2016, 08:25:08 PM: I've been on the lookout for a couple of bats over the past year. Bats which may only be 10 or 11 years old, but classics in their own rights. Bats which will be remembered, not necessarily for the right reasons.

I've managed so far to pick up these 2. Great bats, in even better condition. Enjoy:

The MMi3 is more of a sentimental purchase!

I have been able to get one of eBay this week (a fibre glass model, 'Kahuna Warrior', not the full graphite) and I cannot wait to see it. There was a few of the Genesis graphite's floating around on eBay this week as well.

Trying to pull like Ricky Pinting, and ??
..... getting caught at deep square leg or taking the ball on the helmet?
