ahh - but any good Buzzard?

given you know me well, am I the kind of guy that gives a brilliant bat to a mate or who keeps it...
I used it a few times in the nets and couldn't find the middle :o

Well who'd a thunk it!

Picked up a cheeky little Robinsons at 2.9lbs - 38mm edges, and a chunky little bugger with an ugly face (rather like my good self), but lovely pick up and balance.

And you know what - had a little net with Buzz last night and the bat is not bad at all! Not outstanding yet, but definately pinging and has potential. For what I paid for it, it's big and got a good middle. Even Buzby had to give it a bit of credit after he actually hit a couple (I was bowling well last night!).

Lovely pick up, ugly face, pingy middle.

Yup - very similar shape to Caribee, but bigger profile and a few more, straighter grains and an oval handle.

Fortunately, a similar price to Caribee!
