[uknsaunders]

See young Jordan Silk was using one today - not sure if that was what was in the earlier pics on the thread, won't display for me.

This is pretty disappointing, but I'll tell you what I do like the 1885 profile quite a bit!

Really disappointed. 

1885 shape with the new red stickers and possibly some wood taken off the back of spliced area= how it should have been done!

Is this going to be only 808 and above models?

new maestro bat with a f2 face ahhhh

[swamidude]

Am I the only one who can't see a spine on that Maestro??

[LEACHY48]

Am I the only one who can't see a spine on that Maestro??

yes...yes you are...lol, there is a clear spine, the edge stops where you see the green stickers on the back.

The re-launch of the Purist and Maestro seem just lazy.

Neither looks like the original. Bat making has moved on since both.
I do think it shows a lack of verve and sophistication.

When GN re-launched the Dynadrive and GN100 they where a modern take on the original. A triumph.

GM seem to have missed the point. Half arsed and lazy.

I like the new new stickers and branding for the purist, but as fasteddie said seems lazy to me!

[piethepker]

Seen this in the flesh, nice grains but i think the colours are ugly, plus it's not too much like the old purist

GM thinking: Make new bat half similar to old bat + give old name to attract customers who liked the old bat = profit.
