Title: Adidas Pellara Elite
Post by: craigwm on November 27, 2010, 07:03:19 PM

This is a review of my new Pellara Elite which I picked up for £135. I have not yet used it, however I will be using it in a few weeks.
About the bat. It weighs 2.7 and 1/2 and has 9 straight grains. There are a couple of tiny marks on the face but you don't really notice them. It pings beautifully of the mallet and picks up amazingly light. The edges are approximately 27.5mm. As I say I will be using it in a few weeks so I can tell you how it plays.

Looks like a good bat, nice clean face. I also love your approximate edge measurements!

Yea it is . think its club - pro - elite . £135 is a genuine bargain off the RRP but i think theres better bargains to be be had from other brands
