Title: AM Bats - 2Good, Force8 & AMax
Post by: Windmill on July 29, 2008, 11:31:11 AM: Hey Guys,

I had some new equipment that I'd been eagerly awaiting arrive yesterday, so I thought I'd post up a few pictures of the bats I got.

I'm not too sure of the grade of willow of these bats either, so if someone knows please tell me! Anyway, these are the first AM bats I've come across and I was suprised at a how concaved they were. The level of finish on these bats is also very good, the bats are sanded & buffed nicely. I was pleasantly suprised by the pickup of each bat.

I apologise for the quality of the photos, I didn't have much time and was just trying to get them done quickly. As a result they aren't too flash and the profile picture is pretty much useless ;)

Very in your face stickers aren't they?!

I agree, the 2Good looks nice

Do they have a website?

Yep the names are dubious at best... but the stickers are ok, they aren't as "flashy" in person and would look better with the side stickers removed I think.

I've also had the time now to take some more photos! So I've included individual photos of the 2Good below. It weighs 2 Lb 11 1/2 Oz but from someone that's used to using bats more between 2 Lb 8 Oz to 2 Lb 10 Oz it does pick up a fair bit lighter. 9 Grains, 35mm Edges & 65mm Spine Height.

I've actually taken more of a liking to the Force8, despite having a few blemishes on the face the grains are still quite nice. But more importantly for me it's slightly bigger profile wise than the 2Good and weighs 2 Lb 8 1/2 Oz.
