Popped into Globe sports today to have a look at there M/H bats. They had 3 for sale @ £342 (£304 online), weights 2-9,2-11,2-12. All 3 looked better than the one peplow recieved yesterday, picked up really well and the middles did not look to be that high up the bat. The handles did seem thinner than normal and the half grip was probably 2/3rds up the handle. Measured one bats edges using my phone, was easily around 40mm.
They had 2 distincions, thin-ish edges around 25mm with massive spines. Pick up for me was not good, felt really heavy.
GM Luna's picked up lovely, looked big bats, shame about brownish gold stickers..
Boom Boom bats were big and felt nice.
Best Bat in the shop pick up wise was the Mongoose Cor3. £128. Great value, big bats.
Some pics of the Amplus and Distincion ( pics took on iphone ( blame Apple )

Forgot to say, one of these Amplus's had gray markings over the back of it.( iron? ) Think cover-drives salix had this. Was quite a bit tho.
-
What were the weights of the distinctions mate?
-
I think they were 2-9 and 2-11
-
They had an Oblivion 5 star in there that was amazing.
-
These bats are growing on me
I'm gonna struggle to put one of these down when I visit romida tomorrow

And the 2'9 was a bit on the heavy side was it?

Felt bottom heavy on pick up. Dead weight was fine.
Best pick up in the shops were the Mongoose cor3.

Good stuff d7bow!
Just wondering is that the normal Distinction profile? Doesn't it seem a bit higher than usual Distinction we have seen? Also is the spine suppose to look like this? I have seen many other Distinction on forums and they had higher spine.
This Amplus certainly looks better than Peps! Looks tempting

one of the oblivions had seam marks all over it. Not sure if u can test them in the nets?

I was thinking that to be honest, doesn't look as meaty

Yes normal standard profile distinctions, small ish edges and massive high spines.
Must say I would of bought an amplus today if I didn't have 4 bats already.

You sure it is standard Distinction? Because the profile is quite similar to Amplus with the difference that Distinction have a high spine compare to Amplus. Also the middle doesn't seem to be very lowish :(
By the way, the Oblivion you say were they big in profiles?
-

Their indoor nets has a bowling machine so more than likely someone grabbed a ball from one of the tubs and just bounced it.
-
The profile for the distincion is thin edges with high spine. The picture is taken on a angle, but trust me they have a massive spine. A few of us on here have the other styled ditincions which are just massive bats. Apparently the original shapes were being returned for broken toes/sides etc...
-
That amplus has 3 imperfections, grain structure isn't amazing, if I had paid over £300 I would be quite pissed off!
-
Thanks for the clarification d7bow :)
-
Much prefer the old shape distinction!!
-
That was the best looking amplus of the 3. The other 2 had slightly wonky grains.
-
Which Boom Boom did you see? Gold/Black? I have seen very very good looking Boom Booms and they look massive as well!
