someone asked me an interesting question on facebook i thought i would post it here as im sure people are wondering...
Q: is this bat hard pressed
A: I havent touched this bat with oil or a mallet...and in two net sessions against the bowling machine and 1 with cricket balls it goes very well...not even a crack in sight...edges are still perfect even though i edged quite a few that had a touch of away swing that were there to drive..
as we all know Streaky is from GM so are the bats pressed like they were at GM...its hard to say...ive had gems from GM and Dudds..Here is a review of some other bats but also including a rather crap GM 1885 that was sent back to me twice by two different customers..
its pinged up horribly and figured i couldn't ship it out to another customer...so thought i could get some fun out of it and use it in the nets.....it turned out to be one of my favorite bats in the net that day...it played so so well.....Moral of the story...sometimes customers are not always right and the right set of circumstances need to occur for a proper ping text...
A: they type of ball is very important.
B: how you hold the bat is also important..
C: make sure you are hitting the ball in the sweetspot to properly check the ping..
