Bat buying...
« on: December 15, 2012, 07:33:32 PM »
is this prime bat buying season?

Am I alone in thinking that there seems to be more bats bought during the last few weeks on our forum than ever.

the discounts around at the moment mixed with all the new bats and the MSR bats.

not to mention the recent flood of lavers!

more pics and reviews please!

Might be peak season on the forums, but bat sales have dropped off a little in store for us.

We had a rush when the new ranges launched, and I expect another preseason rush, but most Christmas purchases seem to be soft leather.

3 haha. Got a lot of gear I'm getting coming in, just cause I saw the offers, but also as the youngest brother is just starting up! By starting up, I mean buying 3 bats, pads and gloves and probably a thighguard for him. :P Idk, I seem to just love buying gear!

Think it must be a mix of all the decent offers about and the pics of the handpicked 2013 bats.

All i know is that all the pictures of lavers in the past couple of days have made me want one lol

This is how I rationalise it - I don't smoke, barely drink, no Sky, drive a 1.4...
Equals bat tokens! :)

I think that might be my problem too... :P I wasn't blessed with an alcohol tolerance, so I buy bats to make up for it. :D
