A special 606
« on: April 04, 2014, 11:04:50 AM »
This bat has been mentioned on here a few times and its one i'm extremely impressed by!

Its a Purist F2 606 weighing in at just under 2lb 10 with my very picky grip set up.

I bought this bat on a whim and didn't expect it to come close to touching my match bats (both made for pro's), but having had a net with this last night I felt like the bat was all middle and even simple pushes were flying off.

Cannot praise this bat enough and it really goes to show the sort of magnificent bats that can be found in lower end models especially with the access to handpicked bats we are lucky enough to have on this forum.

Anyway enough gushing over the bat, i'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Looks a corker, did you take the 606 sticker off yourself?

Looks as though could do with a touch more knocking in

Nope, previous owner removed it, and you're right it could do with a touch more, its still in the breaking in phase and is only going to get better.

Said 606 bat is from Vks and featured in this post,

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=27437.0

He mentions he has just received his stock. Nothing about handpicking(which gm don't do anyway)


Magic looking bat though, much pretty than my purist 606 but if it's anything like mine they really are a gem and a goer.

Never understood the want to remove model stickers, not a coincidence it's only ever done on low end models. But that's crisis for the original owner. Not current.


Enjoy the bat dude.

Lovely bat. Well done!

Amazing how 'low grade' bats can be so good. I recently purchased a 3 star SS that was aesthetically awful. Under the speckles, it had 14 grains and performs fantastically!
