Title: Guess the grade
Post by: WalkingWicket37 on February 26, 2017, 10:58:19 AM
Morning all

Just for a bit of fun, can we guess the grade of this?

More details/clues and a full review to follow after a few people have had a guess.

P.S those of you who already know please don't ruin this!  ;)

2

Those two hunts bats in the background look lovely
Always wanted a caerulex

Do you buff your nails?
If yes what do you use to get such a lovely shine?

Maybe hiding the blemish was a bit naughty of me!
It is a UK made one though ;)

What's the weight and how's it tap up?
Looks a lovely bat, and the blemishes certainly wouldn't bother me, and shouldn't affect performance

Look really nice with a bit of oil on

Love that I've revealed the answer and there are still wrong guesses.

Can we ban @nirmal for blasphemy please?

It's Cams humour he doesn't want you banned.

As the label only says 'selected willow' and not 'English willow' it isn't unreasonable to think it may not be English?

Have checked a few seller websites and the clearest description I can find says G5. Looks like they retail around £90.

i would have said lower grade 2 or 3 until i saw the second pic, then i thought below grade 3. looks like a dirty sprinter....goes like the clappers for a short space in time before it breaks down and is found to be a cheating. :D
