Evening Guys, following our net at the Choice Willow Centre last month this is my first cricket bat from Choice Willow. A brief outline of what i was after. I saw Gary making a bat as part of our forum visit and all of the Choice bats looked lovely and i was really drawn to the lovely traditional profiles of Garys bats. At the time however i had just bought a BB, and also arranged with Ryan to make my an RK custom but i really wanted a choice as well, so i spoke to Gary and told him what i was after and ny budget and he said he would see what he could do. Well a few weeks went by and to be honest i had forgotten all about my conversation with Gary when my phone rang and Gary said it was all done so i paid my money and waited for the box to arrive, which it did today.
Specs
2.7 in weight (i dont have scales at home but that it what i asked for and it feels around that mark) oval handle with single spiral grip, 32mm edges and approx 45mm spine height. 9 dead straight grains then an inch or so of lovely heartwood on the RH outside edge. Mid positioned middle and a traditional profile.
The performance is hard to say as not used yet but tapping up an old ball it pings into my ceiling with minimal effort so i reckon this could end up being a great bat for the price. The bat i will point out is a factory 2nd as there is a small repaired crack in the back of the bat by the shoulder but this was fully explained to me by Gary and for £124 delivered i think this is a great bat.
