Title: Velocity Players Choice
Post by: HellomynameisJ on January 06, 2018, 08:15:12 AM
With recent boxing day sales I took a gamble and ordered a Velocity players choice online, absolutely wrapped with what arrived!
Specs as follows!
2.10 picks up around 2.9 to my hands.
Edges: 45mm
Spine: 66mm
Face: 108mm
Minimal concave, with 1 inch shorter blade.
8 grains with heartwood on the right handers outside edge.
 "U" Stamp on shoulder.
This thing pings like a trampoline, i'm very glad i took the leap and got a GN big bat before they are no more with new rules and regs.

I’d guess GCCC with their 20% off sales, sure the Players Edition was 388 dollars in the sale! Not that I was looking!! :D

Are your XXX11 & Players Choice pressed the same Simon or do you prefer one over the other? My XXX11 is fantastic but @skip1973 sorted me right out with the 50+ he sent me. I had it out last night tapping a ball up and it’s just outstanding! Was really tempted by a Players Choice but I’d rather get something SH

I'll stick my neck out and say that Si,s xxxxxxxxxx is one of the nicest bats I've had a hit with.
Almost all middle, and love the whip in the handle
Very impressed and can see why all the rave reviews

If it makes me hit the ball a long way it’s got to be a good bat not use to getting them off the square lol

Haha thanks, its the Gray Nics Beechwood mallet.

I got it from Sportsmart, and managed to pick it up for $350 with their boxing day sales, cant not buy it at that price, right?

@simonmay5 has had a couple of bats from Aus over the past few weeks - drop him a message or maybe he can confirm rates?
