Seeing as these are supposedly ready to play - has anyone actually used theirs yet? How are they going, do they feel good, were they worth the money?

Decided to pick one of these up, seemed silly for the price, if I don't like it or so done at start of season wants a deal can always easily recoup the cost ( although my engraving may not have helped lol) . Just got to wait for it to arrive, 2.10 ordered.

I jumped in over the weekend and ordered one - actually for my lad not me. However, got an e-mail Monday morning saying the order had been cancelled with no explanation as to why. Checked their website, and orders could still be made. Gave them a ring and was told this was because they had now moved over from 2015 bats to 2016 bats... as such I was advised to re-order, which I did. Interesting... does anyone know if the stickers are different between the 2015 & 2016 models? Not that it really matters... I ordered a 2.10 with rather classy engraving if I say so myself.

That's a shame, I don't quite understand why its taken them this long to realise to be honest - seems odd that they would send any out if it is indeed an error.

Yes indeed - same with my (second) order.... rather poor customer service, etc. Messing folks about through what is basically an error on their part. Good luck to the guys that managed to bag a bargain. Not devastated because we didn't need another bat.... I realise the last part of that sentence is offensive on this forum! Worry not, got a nice 2 9 Python Grade2 on its way... Can't resist an end of season bargain.

It might just be that they had some bats made and sitting there, so had a clear-out. Once gone no need to make anymore...those who got their bats, good for them. Those who didn't, there'll be other sales. When you go to a store to buy stuff thats on sale and find out they are all sold out even though the sign outside still says big sale on now you don't say bad customer service or do you?

I don't know how many great deals I have missed out on but there's always another one around the corner..
