Title: Re: Hayden Signed With Mongoose
Post by: Black Cat Cricket on March 25, 2010, 08:43:46 PM: Tom- when you knock in an MMi3, I presume you're meant to hammer the whole face. Do the stickers cope well with this?
Title: Re: Hayden Signed With Mongoose
Post by: Tom on March 25, 2010, 08:49:04 PM: Yes, never had any issues with the front sticker. Mainly because the ball is hitting it straight on increasing adhesion between the sticker and face.

Not a great pic, 30mm edges and weighs about 2lb 9oz. Not a huge bat and not the most impressive looking, not sure why he chose this one.

I ♥ this bat!

Post by: Mr Cricket on March 27, 2010, 10:31:09 PM: tom, i will have this bat if its not very good :D better idea use it as a competition prize?
Title: Re: Hayden Signed With Mongoose
Post by: 100 not out on March 27, 2010, 11:25:42 PM: i saw a couple of these bats in the "flesh" today. got to say i was gobsmacked with them. absolutely fantastic. i reckon in the weekend games i play (50 overs) in the middle overs when the medium pacers or spinners come on, ie. the pitch up bowlers - this is gonna murder em.

Tom if my normal bat weight is say 2lb 9 oz . . . what weight would you recommend the smaller mongoose bat should be?? is this one for sale?
Title: Re: Hayden Signed With Mongoose
Post by: Tom on March 27, 2010, 11:34:32 PM: This one isn't for sale, our pro's all use the same weight in MMi3 as they do in the longer blades. But as ever it's a case of what picks up and feel right for you.

Where did you see them out of interest?

the funny thing was that cheaper one pinged better than the top of the range one. how much could i get one from you??
Title: Re: Hayden Signed With Mongoose
Post by: Tom on March 27, 2010, 11:40:18 PM: We don't sell below RRP, MGM can probably do them cheaper.
