XP80 or not
« on: August 03, 2016, 11:21:03 AM »
This arrived today.

2lb 8oz
SH
24mm edges
Absurdly high spine

And not even close to what I ordered.
But feels so good I might end up keeping it.

Will find out tomorrow what happened with the order and whether I am sending this back.

Yer pretty much. If it came with a pink grip I would think twice about sending it back.

My only concern with bats like this is how do you protect them from dings in your bag? They must be too big for padded bat covers

It's easy, just leave it in the cupboard so it never gets marks on it.

Well the Focus should arrive tomorrow so we'll see how that goes.  What's the bet the 2.9 is actually 3lb 12.

It comes with a padded gray nic cover that fits it nicely. From what i understand the fifty plus bats also come with a similar cover.
