Looks nice, probably a fair price too!

How does this compare to the one from lorimers?

The 800 has more noticeably more willow for pretty much the same weight. I would need to use them to comment on performance. I will do a review once I have, may be some time yet though.

Further pictures of the 1000:

This is brand new yer? It looks like a great bargin it should go really well. I know a coupl of people with them and they are absolute guns! My old one pinged as well! You could have got yourself an absolute bargin with this bat. What does is sound like?

No I am not selling any. I have taken the opportunity to acquire some goods bats in the last 12 months and will enjoy using them over the next few years. No plans to buy any more. I have learnt a lot from this forum so I thought I'd share some of the photos for any others thinking of purchasing.

Yes it was a new bat being sold off as it was the end of the season. Wouldn't want to comment yet regarding performance until I have tried it properly.

Just a silly question, I have used a Kahuna 600 bought from sportsdirect.  When I was sanding(fine paper) for a small crack, I used the sand paper for 3-4 repetations and the amount of wood dust (sawdust) was too much.   Can anyone tell me the reason, I have a asian made bat and also a GM 808 but they require atleast 15-20 repetations for the same amount of sawdust.

 Dont know, but I had just bought it from the website maybe a month old.  Also oiled it properly . Is it the problem with the bats being soft pressed ? Also the sand paper was a new one
