Post by: jonpinson on January 14, 2011, 10:59:26 PM: From the man who describes heartwood as a fad :D

Looks nice, whatever it is.
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: procricket on January 14, 2011, 11:01:07 PM: Just paid for it yes he sending it a top bloke he is without doubt

You was right was given to him by the company during IPL

It not the heartwood Jon look at my other bats not a bit of it on any of them i like it the fact it was given to the pro and comes from the IPL were he got it given
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: jonpinson on January 14, 2011, 11:02:39 PM: So whats the story, out of interest?
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: procricket on January 14, 2011, 11:08:57 PM: Well it a funny one a few lads i know had a few bats of a company who do not sponsor the forum and after asking a forum member about them i gave him a email..

He then asked what i wanted in a bat and what profile i like i showed him my laver and explained what i like

He then said he had this from last season it was given to him by a IPL player and asked if i wanted a look

So i did and this is the bat and the best thing about it it comes with the player Shirt as well.....

A top bloke who is honest i know that he told me some stuff he did not need to and to be fair did not charge the earth

Top bloke i think he should come on here but i believe he likes to sell bats to people in his shop

Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 09:47:02 AM: As you now i do not believe in Pro bats unless it was used by them so it is called the bat was previously owned by **********

I can not wait to use it
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: golders on January 15, 2011, 09:51:57 AM: You mke it quite clear early on that this was a 'pro bat' (whatever that means) early on in the topic so you clearly do care that it was a 'pro' reject/second/surpluss 'bat'!

Does look a nice stick mind and fit for a pro mind.
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 09:56:14 AM: Golders

Read again i may have said it was made for somebody but please read again at no time do i refer it to be a PRO BAT

If i wanted a Proper pro's bat i would have kept the one i gave to Pete Hosk

There no such thing as a pro bat
Title: Re: My new Bat
Post by: steelcouch on January 15, 2011, 10:44:14 AM: that bat is mental.

Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 05:49:28 PM: We shall see when it comes and it was not as much as some people i guess would think
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: Washington on January 15, 2011, 06:05:11 PM: Why is it a secret who made it? and what the company is??? and who it was for????
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 06:07:02 PM: Have a guess who made it
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: alexrickyponting on January 15, 2011, 06:08:19 PM: seeing as espo said he recognised it laver?
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: will5210 on January 15, 2011, 06:11:19 PM: If its Laver was it for McCullum?
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: espocrespo on January 15, 2011, 06:12:34 PM: It is not a laver at all, it's Spyder
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 06:14:32 PM: It not a spyder though either
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: Washington on January 15, 2011, 06:15:24 PM: Im guessing its a Warsop
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: espocrespo on January 15, 2011, 06:15:59 PM: Well that's where it's from and I have a suspicion by whom it was made
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: Colesy on January 15, 2011, 06:17:27 PM: It's now a Watson classic :D
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: procricket on January 15, 2011, 06:19:16 PM: Crespo you know Gary well you should know sometime he swaps bats with some players surely

The 3 you suggested way off the mark

Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: Colesy on January 15, 2011, 06:35:54 PM: Would it be easier to guess the player rather than batmaker?
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: will5210 on January 15, 2011, 06:37:40 PM: I assume the player is puma sponsered?
Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat

Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: procricket on January 16, 2011, 06:49:16 PM: not a chance and one thing i must point out i suspect most pro's get there bats from more than one maker

Title: Re: The "PRO" new bat
Post by: petehosk on January 19, 2011, 12:20:51 AM: Even with the dodgy quality camera shots, you can still see that it looks like a stunner. And I dare say it should perform very well indeed! ;)
