Players edition six6 F4.5
« on: June 12, 2014, 10:38:29 PM »
Hey guys thought I would show you my new purchase. It's my birthday monday and my grandad who sadly passed away last month after a long illness wanted to get me a new bat. I had always wanted a six6 ever since I first saw one. Love the stickers, profile and all the ones I have picked up feel really good.

So after a recent topic some will not like the price this bat cost but let me make it clear I have no problem paying £x for a bat if I want one. Will I use this every week no, do I care no. This is a bat that will have great sentimental value to me. I paid £400 for this bat through a mates friend who works at Romida and ordered this for me from GM.

This is 2.9 with lovely grains, standard profile and an amazingly huge bat for the weight with 40mm edges. There is none of this hard pressed blade on this bat and if anything this needs knocking in as feels very soft. The middle is very long when tapping on the mallet and old balls. Really like the new ripple grips as well.

Here are some pics.

Lovely bat fella

Are the players edition stickers darker blue than the "normal" Six6 or has my dodgy eyesight struck again??

Now that's a stunning bat! Huge for 2.9!
Finishing looks class

There was a time when you couldn't buy a bad GM bat, no matter the price point or model

That's quite a sweeping statement. I think the bad ones must have all been shipped to our local sports shop when I was at school....

This, however, looks stunning!

Of the 7 that've passed through my hands (I still own 6 of them) I haven't had a bad one yet.
But as willow is a natural product it really can be luck of the draw sometimes.

ive had a fair few gms, original purist, purist 2, current purist, hero, halo, flare. and all but one was lovely.

despite it feeling wonderful when wafting, my current six6 original is seemingly a plank when striking a ball, i have lent it out to a batsmen that nets alot in a hope it opens up though.



yours looks wonderful soulman, ive always wanted a players profile gm, but due to weight issues, i doubt ill ever get to use one.

That's a great looking bat, and roots looked huge on the tv yesterday. Nice to see you got a low weight as well
