Salix strike performance
« on: August 29, 2012, 10:49:53 AM »

So after some top quality customer care and service from asad I finally decided to purchase the bat ( this included photos of the bat, asads opinion on the bats and overall a pretty good price for it ). Asad told me he was going to despatch it yesterday and I trusted his word for it after the care and great views from others on the forum! I was sitting down eating my breakfast when I thought I heard a knock ? To my surprise it was a delivery man holding a box that looked to conceal a bat. I opened up the box and it was. The salix weighs in at 2.8, with 13 straight and evenly spaced lovely looking grains. The performance of this bat IMO is standard for a salix ( which is great ! ) the bat is finished great and the stickers isn't coming of or bubbled like the oblivion players I purchased but later returned :D. All in all it's fair to say I will be going back to asad in the near future and definitely salix! If you haven't seen my thread I'm looking to swap my kook softs bundle for a salix softs bundle to match my bat........ Pm me if interested !
Thanks a ton asad !

Enjoy the pics lads ;), sorry for lack of quality took with iPhone

Tony

I think you were unlucky with that GN fella - I have seen lesser models that are excellent so please don't judge all GN bats by the one you got! My old team Captain had a few and they were all superb.
But you now have an excellent looking bat and I know the quality of the bats Asad gets are top notch so enjoy!  8)

Yeh, I can't base it on just that one bat as I've had a predator 5* and a nitro carbo that was amazing. However seeing IJC post about them all going up I don't think I'll be getting another gn for a while as I think £210 is plenty for a grade 1 !
