Well that certainly isn't me, so looks like if I can stomach the exchange rate it's back in the cards.

I found this on the net with X factor grips.

It should be cheaper than an original.

Firstly I would love to own one of these bats. Given the performance of the xxx9 gray nics and the Warner replica I have, I imagine the performance of these bats would be outstanding. However if the restriction of bat size comes into force, can someone tell me if we would still be able to use the over sized bats, if not it's a lot of money with the current exchange rate, shipping and duties/vat etc. I am already mildly annoyed that the other 2 would potentially become unusable. However it also means it is likely to be a one off opportunity to buy it...
Just do it....! ;)

It was only a matter of time. As much as I enjoyed knocking a XP80 but i couldn't help think the toe is a little thin. Pic of a blown toe on a XP70 repair already on twitter and that toe is slightly thicker.

Metaphor of it being like a Formula one car that is just on the edge of failure to save weight. Who else would love to drive a Formula 1 car regardless? I have spent ages on my simulators in the past. Knocking someone elses bat is like that too. Damn 🤔

^ That's a shame! It is a very expensive bat for the toe to split like that.

yep. I recieved it as tiny thumbnails....is it a fake? grains are nice on the face.  Now I'm unsure. Must be the lack of sleep and this awful flu.

He's taken way to much of the timber out of that to repair it IMO

Especially as he hasn't put any dowels to hold it together. Surely one more Yorker and that toe is done again?

inch shorter blade, inch longer handle, 2.10

If you want (and you have kept the bat) we can put it on the machine to make a short blade longer handle. Will do this FOC if you cover the postage - thinking as i type this might not be an option of you live in Oz... But the offer still stands.

Just because you can't see them doesn't mean they are not there.

If any restrictions do come in then its most likely it'd only be enforced at the professional level

I would dare to say that no restrictions will come from that b@ll sh!t of an article produced by the MCC - wasted 20 minutes of my life reading the garbage....
