I wnt back to JJB to have a look at the other Oblivion they had. It wasn't as striking as last week's one, from the back only 8 or so not very straight grains were visible. However, fool I am, buy it I did.

I wasn't expecting much, but the work was carried out as before.

Guess what.

I got lucky.

Not bad for a total of �109...

Again.

If you want, I'll raid my local JJB of all GN Oblivion Power's - they have about 3, one has lush grains.

I think I've been lucky with these two and it is very difficult to predict the looks without really being able to see them. However I'd advise anyone to consider it when they see them.

The first one now weights a barely believable 2'6.2 without all the gunk with 38mm edges, the new one 2'8.3 with 35 mm edges and less concaving.

Mind posting picture of both bats concaving?

I just think you got lucky, it is not necessary that everyone will get as good bats as you.

What I don't get is that why do they grade them so low then?

GN do not sell these bats as English Willow , having said that they look good.

jonpinson · « **Reply #9 on:** August 21, 2011, 08:26:06 AM »

Can you explain the 'English willow' sticker on the back oh great oracle?, if as you have insinuated from the beginning, these are indeed KW?

Damn you Liam you beat me to it

I'm sure they've just graded it down as Jon first thought - perahps thebigginge can clarify?

Looks like Canadian Willow to me but what the **** do I know.

jonpinson · « **Reply #14 on:** August 21, 2011, 09:12:36 AM »

Well half an hour ago they were KW, now they are Canadian willow...what next in your attempts to discredit my findings James? Suggestions of moon willow?
Hints of a conspiracy involving GN, Brian Lara and the US secret service to label KW bats as EW?
