awesome spelling of Mat Prier!

they really needed to put the toe guard on those bats.

As far as we were told, the bats for retail will have toe guards, and its just the pro ones that have none, apparently Clarke/prior like it because its better grip with the pitch...... make of that what you will!!

..actually very true, most of the pro players prefer to have their bats without the toe guard and furthermore to have a very rough finish to the bottom.

Careful! You may be creating a monster - a new forum fad, unfinished bat toes.

Yes true!!

But let me add the point that having a toe, is very important as its prolongs the life of the bat....pro players will play on near perfect pitches. The rest of us will play on damp pitches which makes bats prone to "toe swell" etc.

And they have the joy of not having to pay for their bats!!

That's got to be the worst finished toe I've ever seen. Don't get any of this Spartan hype, which is effectively what it is.

The bat shapes look nice, but nothing out of the ordinary.

Mmmm, I must admit that I do like the MC Spartan bats. Asked for some pics from Asad as I wanted a look and they do look nice!
I hope you don't mind me posting the pics Asad!

These are from the show and don't have toe guards. Now when was pay day again.......... :(

How do these tap up Asad?
How do they compare with some of the pro bats you have? Are they on a par?

How come the stickers are slightly different between the two bats?

You know Pete, I won't keep any bats in my shop which don't ping and have no balance. For me grains are not important at all. Some people wi not agree with me but that's how I select my bats. These do tap very well. These have exceptional good pick up.
I think when u guys visit our shop I will let u guys decide and also show u some pro bats which we have supplied to quite a few players

Are these exact replicas of Micheal Clarke profile?
