Knockdown Salix Praestantia...
« on: April 10, 2012, 07:41:02 PM »
Having wanted to get my hands on a Salix for ages, I took advantage of a great pro direct cricket offer to pick up a Praestantia Performance from 2011 at a knockdown price. The bats really are finished beautifully and it seems nice enough off the mallet. It is amazing how some would grade this a grade 1...

Lovely looking bat as you'd expect from salix. You won't be disappointed. My pod's like a wand and the ball just seems to fly off effortlessly.

That looks lovely, although I would get the grip the other way up asap...!

We really need a net to test all your new bats!!

Salix bats are sheer class really! I got a Rogue and it is cracking bat!! Grainwise it too looks similar to this but obviously this will outperform it as this is non-rogue

Salix's finishing is amazing indeed

Hope you score tons of runs with this!

Buzz mate plan a Batoff please? :D

Do you mean that you think it isn't a G1 or that it should be a G1?!

I think it looks better than some g1 willow and it certainly bounces better of the mallet than at least three g2 bats I've had from major manufacturers.

Don't you believe that, looks sell bats.

Lovely bat, am always amazed how Salix are able to produce their bats with low weights from 2.6 -- 2.9

They are pretty thin with lots of concaving, hence the light weights.

No problem with that, a sensible move.
