That's actually one of the grade 2s, Tushar - I think it's a Praestantia Performance.  Not sure on the weight - they're all pretty light though - I think most will come out 2.8 or 2.9 as we didn't bother with any of the medium-heavy ones (of which there were a few)...

Grade 2  , 5th from the right (1st unhandled bat in the middle)....i will have to wait for that one to be finished and see what she comes out at

I think I got that one wrong, Tushar - sorry! All the unhandled bats are grade 1 Torques and Pods.  The handled ones are Wasps (Senior & Junior) and one Praestantia Performance.

can't actually see why a  specialist retailer would do anything other than hand pick to be honest. 

You'd be amazed by how many apparently have better things to do with their time though, Iain...

Praestantia is definitely the lowest, others all mid/mid-high I believe.

Ok thanks that helps.

Should be able to get two of these videos up tomorrow.  I think they're quite interesting, and very different to our other videos, so would be curious to hear what people make of them.  I will link them on this thread as soon as they're ready...

Some of you may have seen this already, but for those of you who haven't, here's an inside look at the Salix operation:

The other videos have been delayed, unfortunately, but hopefully this will be a good teaser for now!

My cameraman / editor has taken a (conveniently timed) holiday to NY, so I'm waiting for him to get back and put the finishing touches on the others! There are several more to come.  I'll update this thread once they're uploaded...

Can see an old school Newbery in the background, and is that an Open Championship too?

Looks like a great day out by the way. I'm sure many CBF'ers would relish the chance to tag along... Possibly an idea for a future competition?

Nice Tweedidge Paulie!

These are my favourite videos from our Salix visit (all uploaded and ready now).  Andrew Kember co-stars in the first one...

About 3.40 on the first is my favourite, like a low budget horror movie
