Why is it not on for sale here?

Any opinions on the bat itself?

Can not really comment on the bat, although it looks to be a bat with a very generous middle!!
But I can comment on the guy selling it! I have dealt with the guy in the past and he is very trustworthy and extremely fair!!
I absolutely wouldn't hesitate in recommending him in case you're thinking of bidding!
He is a member on here called simonmay5 who actually purchases some quality bats and ends up selling some on when he finds a few he likes....a bit like me I guess.  :(

Are you going to take the plunge mate? I've had a quick luck, did have a special reserve ultra for a short while before moving it on - would like a go out of interest.

You mean you will like a go at legacy?

If I win it there is a good chance it will end up in for sale thread as I am sorted with my match bat. It's the neverending spine and sweet spot which has caught my eye.

Just a gentle reminder that admin takes a dim view of buying stuff on eBay to resell on here. Prefer you, if interested, to bid on it on ebay.

Tim you may have got the wrong idea. I am not interested in buying to sell on here. I meant that it will be an impulse buy if at all and good probability I will move it on.
Be assured as I will always sell with a peace of mind guarantee unless selling ridiculously cheap.
Thanks for the heads up by the way.

I don't understand why anyone would make a bat with that shape? Surely the pickup is terrible?

That's what I want to know mate. Can't just assume pick up will be terrible but the laws of physics hint that way.
I am out of the race so all yours csnew.
And if someone from here buys it please do a review.

I had one, it was on the heavier side too but picked up better than I imagined it would ever have. Having said that it was still what you would call a poor pick up but the bat in itself was very nice. Used in nets a bit and realized there was no way I could continue to use it so sold it a while back.

If you are considering buying it then I would say go for it, try it out and if you like how it responds then get the bottom reshaped to improve pick-up but that might also affect how it plays. Over all with a shape like that entire bat is the middle. I actually liked mine a lot.
