Think you can often get a goodfeel of a bat from picking it up and using the mallet with it so first impressions sound like it should be a good'un.  I think it is a shame for Roger as lots of people in this forum have formed or had formed for them negative oppinions on Solitaire.

I might have to take a little drive to Worcester to have a visit and find out more

Yeah thats a fair point. . .and out of all the bats i have its the one im looking forward to most using this summer!

I think its a great shame, and if im honest i was one of those! I had sent him an e-mail mid season as someone had recommended him but he never got back to me so i left it til a couple of weeks back! I had a £100 knocking about and i wanted another bat so i thought i would give it a try and im utterly glad i did. If it plays as well as i feel it will roger will do some great business out of from me for a few years.

You can have any bat made you want for £110 posted

Great news just goes to show you dont have to get ripped off by some bat merchants for a quality performing bat, my two have arrived aswell so keep your eyes peeled in the reviews section chaps!

Yeah the Incurza is quite bowed anyway, but im a bit a of front foot player, love a drive . . .so simply asked for a pronounced bow.

Well i dont expect anyone to change their opinion based on my word, but i like to think im an honest guy so i just hope my review gives an unbiased view and cuts Roger a little slack as he's a good guy and doesn't deserve the opinions some seem to have of him.

I know what you mean about being a little bit of a skeptic - but so far I am quite impressed from what I've seen.
The profile looks great and it looks like a nice bat Dan. And for a ton, it looks excellent value too.

Nice review - and look forward to seeing your reviews seedy.
Will be ordering one early next year to try one myself!

Yes married with kids. Store them in a large coffin which I store in my wardrobe, althhough they are also in a couple of large bags/
Pay for them - with cash mate! I work hard, earn a lot of money, and buy what i want.
Use them all - I play on Sundays and Wednesdays.  But also play some matches for a company side. Also a level 2 coach and do some net sessions.
So although i cant use them all, i have the opportunity to use several a year if i want to!

Well, the wife hasnnt needed to work in the last 12 years, and she has her handbags, her shoes, and her place in Italy and Cape Verde - so she lets me have pretty much loads of slack!!  ;D
Saying that, I think that I may have enough for the moment!!  :-\
Will even cut my collection down by half next year! It's a great collection though, and won't be easy to decide what I want to keep!
I may start a new topic so that everyone can help me decide what to keep  ???
