Seems to me that blade length is shorter than standard. Can anyone confirm?

Standard length I believe...

A mate here got this bat and showed it to me. To be fair, I was least impressed with this stick. Off-set spine, tad bottom heavy, cork/rubber insert handle, sub-standard craftsmanship, one side had more concaving than other and so on.

I would never pay 400 quids for this bat, I'm glad I got to see my mates before I proceeded and ordered one.

Having said that I must say the laser engraving and the decals were impressive, I loved the look of them!

Wow, wonder who makes them?

I was under the impression that everyone knew who made them.

Picked out 2 of these today for our shop stock.

Must say i disagree with the above comments regarding finishing. Ours are beautifully finished, lovely satin finished willow, blemish free face, lovley stickers. The only sketchy area is the tape on the grip which is a little ropey, but i'll replace this if a customers questions it.

I love the grip itself. Plain black version of their innovative octoplus grip, which is my favourite and is on all of my bats. Black colouring hides all the new age tech behind a traditional image.

We have number 72 and 159.

I know not many people on this forum agree with me about this bat, but for those of you who are interested, here's the video review we shot of the ones we have in stock at the moment:

Agree with pretty much everything you said Paul. Not sure i can justify yet another premium bat for myself, but if the V6's are anything like the V12 in shape then i may get one of them plus the pro tour soft gear for some classy looking (and slightly hungover) sunday runs this summer!

It was very interesting to see the new V12 5 Star at Slazenger today. Very rare, these - I believe only 4 shops in the country will be stocking them, including IJC and Uzi! Quite nice too... Managed to pick up a couple of beauties in 2.9 and 2.10. More details to follow!

petehosk · « **Reply #101 on:** January 17, 2013, 09:05:32 PM »

I saw 4 or 5 of the V12's at Uzi Sports at the weekend.
Stunning bats with lush profile, although they should be at that price!

The V12 5 Stars look just as good really, and yet they're quite a lot less expensive...

Do they have the laser etching as well? How much is a lot less expensive? As always, pictures would be most welcome

Yes! They are basically grade 2 V12s, with a small sticker added below the big red V. Otherwise very similar, but over �100 cheaper... Ah, the all important pictures...

Sedwyn, they'll have to wait until we get them next week.
