Title: Bairstows Addidas-Unused.
Post by: procricket on March 10, 2018, 07:20:39 PM

Got this bat from a friend was in luck really as Bairstow moved this was surplus so i got in the action when the iron was hot.

Spec

2/9 (says so on the handle but feels lighter...
Ping initially very average can not lie.
Edge 41/42mm
Spine 65mm

Square toe as i love really good pick needs knocking in though!.

Really happy and cheers for chase for the stickers.

Overall i was after something a bit different and was going for the Marsh replica until a mate within the industry let me have a look at this and a couple other bats.

I'm 85 per cent sure it a SF.

Looks very nice mate, but clearly isn’t India made pro bat as there is no sign of a sharpie anywhere  ;)

Used it today in a short pitched bowling machine net at Dummer (im sore)

Bats great but my god the SF on the end is potentially the best bat i have used!!! (5 and a half grains)....

Best bats i've used have always had 5/6 grains at the most.  Give me an ugly one that tries hard over a looker that doesn't any day!
