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

Yes, there's the option to have personalised laser etching on the edge, which is a really nice touch.  Far less embarrassing than having your name written on your bat in marker pen, like it was for me at school!  :-[

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

could end up being an expensive winter!

I shouldn't really be saying this, Iain, but 4 new bats on top of what you've already got is bordering on the ridiculous! But each to their own!  8)

Nah, surely not....I mean, I only have (quick count)15 in the closet at the moment, and one of those is sold...

I've seen these too, really nice looking bats, Andy already has one reserved for me

The pics were retweeted by Matt Coles who uses willostix, I checked they were happy with them being out there and they was. Paul, redders did say he was going to get me some pics to put out for all is enthusiasts but he never got them over to me. I'd assume they wouldn't have an issue with you posting unless they explicitly said so

Cheers, Ian - Andy said he'd rather just wait until they've got their stock photos in and post those instead.  I'd rather not take the risk of posting my photos publicly (which are pretty awful, to be honest), so am happy to wait.  They just want it to be launched in the best light.  He specifically asked us to do a YouTube review of it as soon as we get them, though, which was nice!  :)

Looks very nice and I bet it will play well. Only problem I and lots of people have had with Willostix is that they break to often and tend to have weak toes. Hopefully they have worked on that for the new range.

I believe this has been something that theyve looked into. To be fair to them their customer service is pretty decent and have always tried to rectify issues pretty quickly

Customer service has indeed always been good when I have dealt with them just annoying when it happens. Really glad they have looked into it as there brand and bats are good. There softs have been excellent last 2 years that I have used them especially the stick pads and gloves.
