A pie and a blank bat.
« on: April 12, 2012, 05:52:20 PM »
As you will have seen, I had a net with Canners and have been in discussions with him for about 3 months about getting a low middled bat, with a flat face around the 2 lbs 9 mark.

Last night Canners, knowing the Stig and I would be there bought a huge bag of about 30 bats and proceeded to pull out all the 2lbs 8 bats, in two of the 4, full size shapes he has.

It was an unbelieveable tough choice, but somehow I have ended up with this ABSOLUTE MONSTER - it really is a beast.

I have loads of pictures, but here are a few tasters...


time for the huge coin on the edge test:




I used it with the bowling machine (as did the Stig) - there results were very impressive... as was the pick up, which for a low middled bat was really good.

oh and proof it is a full sized bat:


Mr Blank Bats, thank you - and this is unreal  :o

the website price for these, I think is £225 - there is a forum discount, which Blank Bats can inform everyone of - I paid a lot of money for this - with a slight discount, but not massive and there was no postage involved.

money well spent.

That will be an original Revolution bat, obtained from a former forum sponsor - the new one goes at least as well as this :)

A beauty of a bat!! Good call on the pie, perhaps I will get the missus to whip one up. I'm sure the response will be "make it your own *#$#^& self".

ooh I am a massive fan of Andy, Marcus and their work with SAF bats, this just was too good an offer to refuse, plus I wanted to show off the revolution stickers! :)
