Of course I will mate! Yeah a very good price for the quality imo

I don't mean to sound sceptical but how do you know the price is good for the quality if you don't have the bat yet?

Nice grains on this bat Toenails

And if you wanted him to have the same customer service then why not let him know its you by the time you post this instead of blowing smoke up your own wooooo hooooo?

How are these bats graded? On looks or performance?

I think he is basing his comment on the looks of the willow and the information I gave him regarding the bat ..... similar to how people make one off comments based on photos of forum sponsors bats without nothing but a picture???

Ok, he has a bat for £190 POSTED .... its cheaper than any of these which are all very good bats from forum sponsors and in my opinion only that Laver is better ... but its 3 times the price:











and a mass produced one ..


and here is his, its not a one off for show either, i have 4 more of similar quality .......... i think he is justified in his comment dont you??




and two more I have

I'm responding to a couple of comments which needed answering regarding why someone thinks the bat is quality. I openly said the other forum brands I pictured are very good bats.

Ill let others discuss and leave this thread alone unless I feel something needs clarifying. Is that fair?

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 :D
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 :D!!!!
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!

Shame on you Tony for not putting your pictures up properly! ;) Looks lovely, I really like that shape, healthy sized edges and spine with a little concave. Hope it scores you plenty of runs!
