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.

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
