Title: Ridgeback 2020
Post by: Warneymonster on June 20, 2021, 11:19:30 AM

Finally got my hands on one, and wow was it worth the wait.

2.9, not measured the edges but wouldnt say they are huge. slight bow on the blade and a hint of a tapered toe

apparently a g2 but compared to recent g2's ive bought from kooks this is by far the best looking. taps up lovely, waiting for a delivery form amazon as cant find my oil or bat wax. can see this quickly becoming a match bat wonce ive oiled and knocked it in.

only issue, the grip. do i change it for a white one?

Lovely. The Ridgeback is one of the best looking bats of all time.

Agreed, regret buying the retro beast but this is a peach

Great collection of kooks there. How is the rapid pro compared to others?

Not a fan of the red either, it’s yellow or white I think

Ordered a couple so will see when they arrive, the beast is getting a white one definitely to tone it down
