New GM Halo
« on: April 10, 2012, 12:21:35 PM »
Went into Globe Sports today to take my broken Boom Boom in. After a quick conversation they said they'd send it back to SS to get it repaired hopefully within a week. My dad said that I should have a spare bat in-case one breaks or to use in nets so offered to pay for a new bat if I paid him back.

Very quickly decided on this, the last Halo in the shop. It is an 808 which weighs 2lb 9, 12/13 fairly straight grains with a small butterfly stain near the toe. Picks up nicely for a low middled bat, not huge edges guessing about 30mm. Off the mallet it seems decent but not really done anything productive with it yet other than shadow bat. I'm really pleased as it feels really nice in the hands with a lovely handle with one grip on. Will knock it in before Saturday and if the weather holds it might get its first outing although will have the Boom Boom if I bottle it ;)

Anyway, here are some quick pics. Enjoy, I hope.







All approved by the big dog.




What do you guys think?

I love the Halo - I was in Lilywhites on Saturday and there was a 909 I was VERY tempted to buy.
Great pickup (GM index 3) and lovely shape.

Yeah they didn't have an 1885 to compare it to but it will be the closest thing to a Purist I can get for a while and I love traditional shapes so this fits the bill.

I had a look at the Halo and the 1885 last time I was @ Owzat, lovely looking bats - wouldn't be able to choose between them.

Out of interest how much are the 808's do they get classed as G2 or G1?

Looks very good! These feel great too!

I find Halo better than 1885 for some reason
