My son has taken advantage of the "County" deal for the Black Mamba pro bat. I must say the performance of this bat is superb. He has had a Harrow size bat, it weighs in a 2lb 4oz and picks up like a dream. I will get photos asap but it is covered in cherries as he has used it for about 8 net sessions in the 2 weeks he has had it. It gives that satisfying "thunk" every time he hits the ball so even defensive shots sound like they are being driven for 4. I must also thank Zurain at UZI who got the bat oiled, knocked in and prepped at short notice so that I could pick it up and take it straight to the nets for my son.
To go with the bat my son also chose some green Mamba pads and gloves which, again, are excellent quality and he preferred them to the "pro" as he likes pads to be as light as possible.
At the same time I treated myself to a lovely looking Spartan that will be used to lean on during next seasons "over 40" games. Again excellent service at UZI B'ham, the bats are really something else.
Just need some UZI bat covers now (come on Asad) and an UZI bag to put all the gear in
cheers
