Title: Genuine Mongoose?
Post by: jdownesbcfc on April 13, 2018, 03:40:33 PM

Hi Guys

Does anyone know if this is a genuine Mongoose bat?

I know it is a Harrow size (so I'm correct in thinking this is approx 3/4 of an inch shorter and about 0.2 inch narrower?) but dont know if it is genuine?

Any thoughts appreciated

Cheers

Jack

My cor3 had the splice in a he blade. Believe you are thinking of the mmi3.
Looks good to me

Yeah, plus- why would you sticker up fake kids bats to sell for £15? Surely by the time you’ve sourced the wood, the grip, the stickers and such a niche brand and size, makes me wonder how much profit would actually be in it

Very true. I’ll keep you posted when I pick it up today how it goes etc

It's a genuine bat, but Kashmir looking at the blade. No way is it a Premium.

CoR3 from 2010/11 onwards had a 'mini-splice' in the blade, to introduce more flex back into the handle.

Thanks Tom, I got some more pictures today so I’ll put them on here when I’ve worked out how to upload

Used it in a net session this morning and it felt OK. Just OK though. Don’t know what I was expecting really :)
