Looks like the 808 bats are not available on the site anymore.

There is still the 808 for the Octane for weights between 2'10 and 3lb from the options! So I am assuming that they are still available?

I'm sad with time on my hands. So clicked them all. There was only ever the octane available in 808.

Plus in general the 808 was only on a few select bats.

Sweepstakes on whether they will honour the agreement?

I've just given them a call and asked to make sure the weight was 2lb10oz fishing to see if they were going to flag it up and they said delivery would be 2-3 weeks as they make these from scratch so I'm going with a hopeful yes.

Good stuff.  On my comments section I asked if I could get one between 2'8" and 2'9" if possible.  Wonder if they'll do that?

IO presume they only have over 2'10 left in stock.

They won't catch us this time! Not this time! They haven't spotted us! No, they're all snoring in their bunks! Or, you know what? They're drinking at the bar, celebrating our sinking! Not yet, my friends. Not yet!

it gives the impression that the Octane may be on its way out :(

Cad profile is the same regardless. Which means the mass in the bat can only achieve between 2.10 and 3lb.

You'd probably need a very very light cleft for a 2.8 which wouldn't be a 808.

I've had an octane 808 before that was 2:8 and huge, GM grading can be a bit strange sometimes so you might be lucky

If what we were told about the DMX process was correct, then shouldn't they all be the same size?

For some reason I have always wanted one (love the profile!) but never actually got around to making the purchase........probably due to other bats coming along at the same time!
So this has been fate for me. Last chance to get a new one possibly before they discontinue or replace the model?
