As the title says, just for a bit of fun. :) Keep quiet if you already know this! ;) (ie. Bat 1 - Newbery Players, Bat 2 - Salix Performance)

Close bud, but not quite. :) Here they are!





The 404 was picked purely on looks, and the GN Oblivion e41 was just really impressive off the mallet! Both were purchased from the local cricket store. I only went in because I had a little time to kill before my next train, and I ended up in there for an hour and a half...

Hahaha. You happened to be an hour and a half early for your train mate??? :D

That 404 looks like a bargain. Really like the SIX6 profile.

Haha, the train comes every half hour, so I kept saying I'll just get the next one. :-[ The Six6 is a lovely profile, not a huge spine, but a very evenly distributed playing area. :)

Hi Cam, it is 2.11! :) 'Who has the better GM Six6 404? Only one way to find out. Fight! :D' I always think of someone when I see a specific bat, dunno why, but the Six6 has stuck to you rather Joe Root in my mind... I spend far too much time on this forum haha!

This 404 definitely performs, wouldn't say pings like mad as it wasn't the best GM in the shop. A 707 played better and picked up better, (Also lighter, but didn't look as good grain wise) but at £60 more, I couldn't really see the point in picking out a Six6 which played a little better from the start, seeing as all GMs (And most other bats) improve differently over time. The GN was a different story though, just couldn't let the bat go after picking it up and testing with a mallet. Also helped that the stickers looked good on both models, stickers really do sell bats! When I first walked into the shop, the first bat I went to pick up was a Puma Chromium, just because the stickers looked flashy, and were nice. 8) Also cost me less to get both these bats in a store which sells at RRP, than an online store, which helped me make my decision. ;)
