Title: Hello from Robert Pack Cricket
Post by: ProWannabe88 on December 07, 2010, 05:07:10 PM
Hello everyone. After meeting with Robert Pack a while ago he asked me to consider running and administering a forum section on behalf of his brand BlueRoom!
I hope to keep the section updated with all the latest news and innovations from the BlueRoom workshop and answer any questions you may have regarding the brand and all things Pack related. Anyway that's it for now, keep your eyes peeled as I'm sure Rob will keep me busy. Any questions regarding orders or general info can be sent to RobertPackCricket@hotmail.co.uk
Thanks
Liam

Does Rob still use the e-mail address he has on the website? Will we see Blue Room foray into other equipment as well or just bats for now? Thanks

Good stuff Will, he's good with communication to say he's so busy ATM.
As soon as I get some is the answer to that one canners. I only have pics of mine at present and waiting on the gaffer to forward some prototype shapes for you all to look at. Should be interesting, he was toying with an insane profile a few weeks ago but I don't want to divulge too much information yet. Yes that email is his personal one and you can use that, or use the one listed which should get you a quicker response depending on the query as the tiscali account is on his blackberry I believe. He has opened this section specifically for everything forum related, orders, questions, purchases, products, feedback etc, basically anything involved with Blue Room and the company, this way any messages will be read and a response recieved quicker, plus it helps him to focus on the workshop :)

is that 60mm profile with spine, or edges like the arrows show??
Title: Re: Hello from Robert Pack Cricket
Post by: ProWannabe88 on December 10, 2010, 03:47:53 PM
Yeah It was noticed a long time ago lads, I did advise rob of it but the website is not my responsibility. Thanks a lot anyway and nice to see people are looking at it :)
The swells are concaved, but not a lot if at all really. Still keeps a more traditional shape Edges are 60mm+ on average and blade itself is usually the same maybe a few mm concave at best. Weights are around 2.12+ but if there's any BIG BIG clefts in that are light some have come out at 2.10 2.11

I'd take one of those over the prototype, any day!

I wouldn't mind one but it's waiting for the one that comes out at a light enough weight for me to use

Yet to see a 60mm edged swell. Peter hosk's wasn't I'm sure and another chap on here had 1 at 45mm. Maybe the pack man could show us 1. I'm sure it would sell on here if he did.

When I spoke to rob in the summer he said at that time he wouldn't be able to make a bat under 2-14. That's why I went with the new wave at 2-10. If he could produce any normal profile bats at the 40mm+ at weights of 2-8 to 2-10 I think he will be selling plenty.

The size of the bat depends entirely on the willow available. Some swells in at the moment are massive, But heavy. He did say when he drops on some good stuff he could squeeze these out at weights of 2.12 and above. Maybe not with 60mm edges but they'd be 40+ which let's face it is more than big enough. There was one in at 2.14 that had 60mm edges. I guess it's all pot luck with the clefts. I'm just waiting for his images and then hopefully can show the forum what hes churning out apart from the pro bats and Pooma contract work.
