Grains look very similar to my old GM Cannon Original, that was a superb bat until it de-laminated. I'm thinking it might have been a "pro" quality cleft that slipped onto the shelves  :D

No 11 you are right, over the years some of the best pingers I've had have been similar, looks wise.


Looks very similar to probably my best ever bat. A B&S LE which I finally retired last year.

Here she is looking rather sorry for herself.

A bit of retirement TLC and put in a place of honour ;)
Looks like a spate of low grain count pingers is coming to the fore  :D My GM has 7.

Slightly delaminated if I remember, a few edge cracks and a split toe. Easily repairable but I was done patching her up, I wanted to buy some new willow. I sold to Leachy for a token amount.

Some of Robins bats.



He has 2 GM Epic Player Editions, i'm not sure where the other one is.....



The B&S bat is a Laminate.

As you can see, he likes grains. :)

This was mine for this season. Will most likely be carried into next year as well.

JS wright have written to all there suppliers to inform them that the % of grade 1 willow will be less this year than last so I personally think that we will see less and less 15+ grain bats. Out of my collection though which is mainly grade 1 most have about 7-9 grains. As long as straight, evenly spaced and go straight through the toe that is perfect for me. And also at the end of the day if the pressing is correct the number of grains etc is not really relevant.

The one on the left is the complete package, it looks nice, pings like mad and picks up well for a low middled blade

The one on the right I picked because it was by far the lightest in the batch... 2.5 before grip and stickers and picks up a treat

That IS a fine bat, reminds me a lot of my Helios profile. I bet it picks up a lot better too!
