Evening all just thought I would share with you my new stick for the coming season. Firstly this is not a bat this is available. I just really really liked these stickers and are still my favourite (although the SLX runs close) and with the return of retro bats this season thought I would join the party with a Salix offering.

So here she is 2.11 fully dressed but picks up 2.9 in my view and I personally never weigh any bat from Salix as to me the pick up and balance is amazing. Mid/high middle, as an opening bat playing a decent level always find that helps, plus I'm a little vertically challanged  also aids pick ,2 tone willow but dead straight grains that run straight through the toe. A little concaving with a fairly high spine height. This is a modern version of the original vantage which was my first ever Salix bat that I was bought when I was 17 from memory, basically it's just bigger as bats are these days, any way hope you like her.

That shape is lovely. I don't understand your need for endless willow when you have such great contacts at Salix.

I thought that's what you meant, I was just hoping it was the other. Lol

I have been with Salix for a year now and that is a very true point. I will not be buying anywhere near as many bats if any more at all to be honest. I feel the loyalty to Salix now as they have been very loyal to me in my training/apprenticeship and allowing me to work around my existing job which I am really to them for.
