SG Cricket VS 319 Ultimate, SH
« on: September 04, 2011, 06:09:32 PM »
As mentioned in another thread, I took a punt and decided to acquire one of these for the princely sum of £100 + £12 postage from Online Stockist with knocking in and oiling, and it also came with two facing sheets.

The pictures are below. The bat weighs in at 2lb 9oz and is a Short Handle. It's a massive piece of willow, and this is exaggerated by the completely flat face, something that you don't really see in UK bats. It picks up exceedingly well and has a remarkably low middle given the profile. The initial mallet test is pretty good. It's not on a par with the Instinct or Laver that I own as they have larger middles but for such a low price, it is easily as good as many of the larger brands more expensive bats. The Ultimate is the top quality willow that SG sell in their standard bats.

It will be an interesting one to get in the nets and test. Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Nice looking bat for £100.

The spine reminds me of 2010 Adidas Pellera.

Looking at it in this picture I have to agree.

I'm tempted to get one of those SG RSD sticks from OS, and this is encouraging!

To be fair, I often see people after unbranded batting gloves and they have them here...

How long did it take to get you once you'd ordered it?

Delivery time was two weeks. I'd asked for knocking in (and it does seem as though that has been done) so that's not unreasonable in my book.

Pretty standard. Not overly thick and mostly round. Haven't had a chance to use it properly yet so I can't vouch for vibration or anything like that.
