Kember wouldnt be making 20-50 bats a day in his workshop......he would need outside help to produce that many.....but he wouldnt be selling 5k, i think Leo was suggesting this to elicit a response from Tom - who is suggesting that Mongoose sell in excess of 5k bats a year.

[Tom]

Far too early to say what Mongoose sell in a year, haven't done a full season or year yet.

[SillyShilly]

well going on 25 bats a day, which isnt unreasonable considering the amount of exposure mongoose have had and paid for, heightened by all the frenzy surrounding the IPL - i make that 3750 bats sold through the season, plus or minus good and bad days - that leaves a 1000+ bats to be sold in the 7 months between september and april, which again might be a push but not impossible.

Whats been the most popular bat so far (numbers sold) - the MM13 or the COR3?

Tom said on another thread that they're selling/have sold more MMi3s than Cor3s.

Tom's quote from Ashvir's Mongoose review page "Probably 70-30 in favour of MMi3"

Shilly that interested me aswell, thats why i asked it before, would have suspected it to be nearer equal, but 70-30 to mmi did shock me, i know they are the radical, exposed product but still to sell so many when its so different and specialised shocked me! Be interesting to know how many have gone for the top end and plan on using it and how many have gone for the cheapest just to mess around and try it out!

Well we will see in the summer how many people we see with them

Just got my hands on a CoR3 Custom Pro. First impressions are you can tell that it's not a traditional blade in terms of length but it compensates with a thicker blade as you would imagine. It picks up very well actually but it's too heavy for me at 2.12/13.

I like the stickers (even though there are some random stickers lol) and the grains are lovely and straight. Edges aren't massive but the spine is quite high.

Pictures on later.

Looks a nice clean blade, does the lack of a bow affect the pickup in any form Colesy? Does it ping nicely off a mallet?

[Colesy]

The pick up is nice actually, surprisingly nice. Just briefly tried the mallet and it has a long middle but not the length of the blade.
it is 2 or 3 oz to heavy for me but none-the-less a very nice bat.

[SillyShilly]

did you order 2.13 or did you order 2.10?

[SillyShilly]

nice looking bat by the way, looks a stunner!

[Colesy]

2.12 then my friend changed it to 2.13

(It's not my bat, a friend's)

[Alvaro]

what are the back stickers like? when I saw a couple in the Lord's shop they were already peeling a bit

[Colesy]

They seem fine
