a bit harsh

you're right, apologies, original post removed. was looking on my phone so prob best not to comment based on such small pics. Pic 2 on reply 2 does make it look a bit that way though. Apologies again. Excellent photographs.

LOOOL mate ill be serious this was not required at all, seriously!! I didn't take it wrong nor I got offended, you didn't had to apologize, I knew you weren't saying it from your heart.

At the end its just a piece of timber, so relax mate!!

Nevertheless it was very very kind of you seriously!

Thank you very much as I earlier said

I wish shipping was that quick for me.

12 days for my bat,
Now I am upto 18 days waiting for my gloves and havent heard anything about them, needless to say, I am not happy with Royal Mail.

I got it off yash, not much has changed, just obviously a few ball marks!
Its the first m&h i have owned, and im extremely happy with it!

Cover_Drive · « **Reply #22 on:** March 21, 2011, 05:08:47 AM »

I am not sure if its M&H or what but I oiled the back once and face twice and it looks all dark now, the grains look opened up etc

When I move my fingers I notice the moisture.

I have oiled bats in past but none have changed its colour as quickly as this.

Oh and yeah when I first oiled the face, the oiled soaked in within few minutes and it looked ultra dry, with second coat it went in quickly as well but not as quick as first.

Thoughts please ?

If you look at the picture of my M&H in my My Bats thread, although it has a hammer edge sheet fitted, it had a coat of oil prior to that being attached. The grains opened up on that one.

An old bat.

jonpinson · « **Reply #25 on:** March 21, 2011, 10:48:05 AM »

Yeh it sounds like it has been sat in a warm show room for a while. I've had similar happen with old bats I have bought and you can see the oil getting sucked in to the wood and vanishing within a few seconds.

I hope the over dryness won't have an effect on the life on the bat.

Talisman · « **Reply #26 on:** March 21, 2011, 11:05:26 AM »

You now get charged extra for it.......

Cover_Drive · « **Reply #27 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:20:53 PM »

Hmm so one of the reason for it being sold for a cheap/bargain price at ProDirect could be that this is piece from old stock, the bat literally hasn't face a ball yet...

Mike does this dryness/grains opening up etc affects bats life in any way?

Does grain being opened up means I don't have to knock it anymore ?

Talisman · « **Reply #28 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:28:53 PM »

It will have a shorter life if drier, but by how much is anyone's guess.

You will still have to knock it in.

Cover_Drive · « **Reply #29 on:** March 21, 2011, 01:32:48 PM »

Cheers make sense.

But after two coats on front do you think it is still dry? As I earlier said when I move my fingers over the face and back I feel mositure.

Also I have heard dry bats turn greyish so there was a greyish line running through the edge...
