Batoff rates some willow!
« on: October 28, 2011, 09:30:31 PM »
Had a great day today. For the first time that I can remember I was able to get my hands on some bats (I think you saw most of them in the picture I sent to Ayrtek) and really see how they felt in proper use.

I'd have to say that the results were interesting for me, to say the least!

well there is certainly some seriously independent testing... hopefully the camerawork will have paid off.

the helmet cam was a disaster though, you can see the ball!

It takes considerably longer to upload videos than perhaps I would like, but there will be something there for you soon enough...

I don't know how to put this, but, I'm kind of a big deal.

I blame the "Stig" for hogging all the batting - no use putting his views up.

I can't see it :(

I'm hoping to see an upload of a video of some character called 'Farmer Giles' who was batting there. Apparently he's a bit agricultural, but he tests bats to destruction!

No - I don't think my clockwork computer has the right Quick-play thingy!

I guess they are too big to post on here You-tube stylee?

The world should see this!

Amazing how the Stig makes 85mph seem very easy!
