The Edge, Bargain or Flop?
« on: November 15, 2011, 11:01:46 PM »
 
Has anybody had any experience with this and know what grade it is?,

Is this innovation gone barmy? I'm tempted to have a flutter just for the hell of owning an odd bat,
and at £60 as well

The handle isn't in the middle...

Never even heard of/seen this bat before!

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

Handle not being in the middle was the purpose of this bat.

OP it was massive massive failure.

Understand it was the purpose Cover Drive. Was just pointing that out to Hads45 who didn't appear to see what the innovation was meant to be : )

An interesting website, GN Powerbow Extreme for £70inc delivery.
That looks like a good deal as I love the profile but would have to buy blind and hope for the best id imagine.

It's a very interesting website. I've never, ever had any order fulfilled from them. I've always had my money returned, but they've never had enough stock to cover what they show on the website.

Sadly they don't do an Oval handle as standard. Looks like someone is going to get a bargain! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120807205770?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
