Bradbury M500 - Any good?
« on: February 24, 2012, 08:33:14 PM »

Hello..

Just acquired (on impulse) a Bradbury M500 from another forum member originally on ebay. I don't believe there's a review on here and I know this bat is probably 2 years old so has anyone else got one or used one in the past? It's the one down from the 'Players' but Gd 1 with 7/8 straight grains.. large profile with a nice balanced pick-up.

From the research on here most members quoted Bradbury's are brittle in the toe which pans out with a fellow club member of mine whose bat lasted well into it's second season before the toe went but I don't think he used to do any maintenance with his bats at all and it did see a lot of action.

Would appreciate your comments and views...
