Problem is, if you pick one up they are hellish difficult to put back down!

How is that a problem, Paul?! My Salix has helped my batting average treble - who's to say they can't do the same for others!  What price do people put on that?!

What was the average before salix?

What was the average before salix? 

11 before, 33 after.  Easy enough to treble an average of 11, but I am more of a bowler...

It's potentially a fiscal problem mate - you suddenly find you have a bat in one hand and a wallet in the other What I was trying to say is that they really are that impressive in the flesh, so to speak. I'm looking forward to my batting average trebling to the heady heights of about 9 or thereabouts!

Resurrecting an old thread, because we have finally received three more of the bats that I picked that day back in November! Salix won't win any awards for speed of production, but they are always top contenders for quality and performance in my opinion, and here are three more prime examples (apologies for the image quality - BlackBerry)...








The Torque is especially interesting as it's actually got a tiny amount of concaving.  It is 2lb 7.1oz though! The Praestantia is 2lb 9.0oz and the Wasp is 2lb 11.3 oz.  Each have 11+ grains...

You're obviously doing alright for yourelf Paul, if you can afford three 50p's for the edges

Paul what is the difference in three shapes? they all look very identical!!

[Spanky]

Was going to say that they all looked the same shape. Glad I wasn't being stupid.

[uknsaunders]

ditto the above ^ ! All 3 bats look very similar profile wise from the pics. What's the key differences in your opinion Paul?

[ItsJustCricket]

The Praestantia has a slightly lower middle and a rounder face.  It also has a much shorter spine.  The Torque and the Wasp are practically the same though, just different weights and stickers of course.  Hard to know exactly how they will turn out when you're picking them from the cleft, but I guess this proves that a 2.7 Torque loses it's main distinguishing feature ie. convex profile...

Another reason to consider buying the Torque then. I think it's great when you get something that's just slightly out of the ordinary.

Shame that Wasp is too heavy for me.

It feels 2.9 though, trust me!
