Mongoose Rebel
« on: November 01, 2013, 12:13:40 AM »

Just saw that they are releasing a new mongoose bat called the rebel and wondered if anybody has seen or heard anything about it?

i have seem a small write up basically saying its a new bat and combines the other 3 bats they already sell

What is it with these squared off toes, just doesn't look right to me. Rest of it looks good though.

Is it just me or does the profile look similar to the Spartan MC limited edition?

Either way I quite like the look of it.

I like to profile on that. Didn't GM square off the toe on their top bat models a few years back?

I'm of the other view point - I dislike the shape and styling of this bat.

Looks like a fence post!

Looks like a horrible pakistani bat with Mongoose stickers on it! Has a full size splice showing so goes against what mongoose have done previously!

one thing about those pics I noticed is the wood doesn't look the best. Seeing some of the bats mongoose have done in the past and used for their promo shots, they usually look a lot better than this.

I like the profile, though the square toe does look prone to damage.

Sorry to rant, but the one thing that annoys me with that image is the blade height of the 3 views are all different. Pretty average photography and photoshop composite job for a brand like Mongoose.
