The saf hades i had was poor, along with a gm epic.  Both just didnt want to open up after such a long time knocking them in and netting with them!

Got to agree there one of laver and wood reserves was poor very poor returned it the other 2 I have are up there with the best though
Even my Laver signature took ages to open up and a very moderate ping too ---

Adidas Pellara for me, although what was I expecting...
Fortunately I only paid £125 not the full £280, don't think there was anything I liked about it!

GM Icon original. I paid £270 expecting a fairly decent stick but after nearly 18 months the bat simply has no power and a very small middle.

Also a GN fusion I had a few years ago that had an ok middle but everywhere else the bat felt dead with a lot of vibration.

Gray Nicholls Millenium 5* - Got a few runs with it but was a chore to get to the boundary!

I was dissapointed in my Gray Nicolls Evo Players, it never really got going and then it eventually decided to break. It had so much potential :(

Blenheim Churchill was very poor for the money, was just dead all the way through. Also a Slazenger Air Blade Pro for about 5-6 years ago, was huge and light and just didn't go anywhere.  Plank

Must add, wasn't too disappointed when my brother borrowed it and broke it. He then coughed up some cash towards a replacement. Of course I acted like I was livid!

I nearly forgot my first memorable plank... My original late eighties powerspot tufcoat. Nasty lump of useless wood... Middle like a dead cat.

I had a Charlie French made maybe 10 years ago or so, would have happily chucked it on the bonfire!

Think to be fair lads I know who use them these days are pleased with there's, just thought it a big unresponsive lump back in the day.
