Top 8 bats ...really
« on: July 16, 2014, 02:44:22 PM »
Smells of a really small selective sample size

wonder how many bat makers were actually contacted before producing this list

Aren't those just picked straight off the AOC top list from their gear test? Seems a bit of a pointless article really...

With all due respect to all brands who source their bats from bat makers and don't actually make their own stuff..... I don't think they should even be considered in things like that.

Newbery Yes, Salix Yes, Laver Yes, Woodstock.....NO! Spartan.....NO!

Just my opinion....

and £450.00 for a Spartan...... Jesus Christ!!!!

Get a bat produced by the same guys, same performance etc for less than half of that.

Lazy journalism.

The mongoose looks like a scaffold plank. Ugly.

The article actually says it is Ed Kemp (AOC) who has written the list - may as well just stick a link up to the AOC gear test!!
