I was out at a gig at the O2 last night.  Ears still ringing and I feel like I've been sent through the wringer several times!  Didn't get home till 1 and a 6 start to get to work isn't good!

Haha.  My nitro extreme from a few seasons ago is starting to show it's age, but it still flies.  Next on my list to refurb, although it hasn't really had a look in last season and may not get a look this season...  The maverick does look pretty tasty though, as does the e41, and the dynadrive... Oh, who am I kidding, I want them all!

That's a crying shame.  Although it may be possible they sent a duff one?

To be honest, there were a few Dynadrives that weren't tapping up that well, but of course, we didn't pick any of those!  :) I was also surprised by how heavy they were coming out - not that many at all under 2.11...

That's because Asad grabbed all the lighter ones ;)

I still don't see what would make the dyna go well...... Massive hole where the middle of the bat should be..... I'm sure the pick up would be light, but is there any theory to suggest less wood in the middle of the bat is anything but a bad thing?

I think you are thinking of the Scoop... Dynadrive has a spine, not a hole...

Sorry to hear you didn't get on with it simmy, maybe you need to try one of the custom made LE dynadrives, that might wet your appetite?!

Alex - don't waste one of your better bats on Simmy - he isn't worth it ;)
