This should help @madpra6; with a bit of experimentation the link to Photobucket can be removed & the image will be pasted in the post itself.

For some reason I'm reading this thread and all i can think of is General Akbar saying "it's a trap" . ;)

it's a shame the grip and finishing were only rated at 9/10, I'd have ordered 12 of them otherwise...

Oh yeah , just wondering... when did '8 pretty decent straight grains' equal perfection . Sure , i prefer 8-10grains myself , but i would likely view them as either pretty decent or near perfect , but not both . I'm sure the grain enthusiasts would have an even stronger opinion on that .
I now rate my reply as 10/10 !

since its been raining continuously tried it in the indoor nets only yesterday. The balance, pickup & ping are all very good. Feel i need a few more net sessions to get used to the bat before using it a match.

I paid INR.14000 for the bat & INR.750 for the preparation(its oiled, knocked & face/edge tape applied). Not sure how much it would cost in pounds.

Grains 10/10 hmmm they are even,  prominent and straight.

Id say 7/10 large blemish front and back. Low grade 1. Not to say it would not perform, it may well be better than any bat I have tested.

The rest of your grades shows you are very happy and that is all that matters. Rose coloured glasses? Perhaps, but it enjoy it while it lasts. Now you are on the forum you will soon find ways to criticise it in order to justify buying another bat or five like everyone else. Enjoy.

£162 for that? I suppose it's not that bad.
