Willostix Spitfire
« on: November 09, 2012, 03:55:28 PM »
As they weren't at the Lord's show, I was particularly intrigued to see the new offering from Willostix, and have just had the great pleasure of witnessing their brand new bat for 2013 - the Spitfire Classic. 

I've taken some photos but don't wish to show them publicly yet, but if anyone's curious, I'm happy to email them over.

Needless to say, she's a beaut - with similar laser engraving to the Anaconda Classic, and Willostix's first English made bat.  We will definitely be stocking them, and should have (at least) one in within a fortnight...

Did you see any profile shots, Tom? Surprised these have made it out, as they prefer a more discreet approach for the time being at least...

Oh my...  The spitfire is one of my favourite planes...  I might have to buy one and never use it.  Just hang it spine out, so I can see the spit!

Not really, slight concaving and huge edges! Even bowed profile/spine though, very nice...

Mmm. Looks big in profile. Loving the etching on the side.

Just shows, you can't really tell without a profile shot!  :D

No, it only comes in SH unfortunately, Iain! They said they could do LH/LB on request though.
