Title: First Bellingham and Smith bat
Post by: Davehugh on November 04, 2017, 04:02:59 PM: I've been eyeing up a Bellingham and Smith bats on there instagram for ages and saw recently a post about a massive Virat Kohl style profile bat and decided to take the plunge. After a few questions back and forth and a few photos decided it wasn't a bat a could miss out on so plucked up the courage to ask the missus to buy it she said yes :). Here are a couple of pictures he's taken before sending out so excited too get my hands on it....
