Well fellas, a special package came for me and I had an inscentive it was my new bat. I am very impressed with the way the bat was packaged with a lot of foam padding in the box to make sure the bat didn't get dented or knocked on the way - which done its job very sufficiently

The bat weighs 2'9 and is absolutely huge, it has 35mm+ edges and has next to no concaving so it's is literally a very large lump of wood, surprisingly the pick up is very good with 1 grip as I'm quite surprised as it feels nicer than my Salix; which does not compare at all in size! The face has 15 immaculately straight grains and is a very nice piece of wood and has been labelled as a pro grade as to grade one due to not having any heartwood with beautiful straight grains. Now on to performance, well what can I say I'm over the moon! It's pressed very well and pings aswell as my Salix and that is at it's peak so I can't imagine what this is going to be like

The stickers are very nice and have a carbon fibre esq look to them, with a mirrored shiny chrome outline to add for affect. Overall I'm really pleased to be the very first owner of a Python cricket bat and I can't wait to get it knocked in and used, although I will be adding an anti scuff to prolong the life of the bat. This certainly won't be my last python and its fair to say ill be on the look out for any new shapes etc!
Thanks a lot John you were a pleasure to deal with!
