2 lovely bats from RS
« on: February 17, 2017, 05:09:35 PM »
About a month ago I got in touch with RS regarding a G1 bat and Butterfly willow as my parents were visiting India, so I thought Dad could visit the factory and pick one out for me. I had shared my requirements with RS, Surinder was very helpful and before my parents even landed in India the bats were ready.

These have literally just arrived minutes ago, would have been sooner had i not wanted my Dad to see these in person before these were shipped out. Surinder shipped them last on Monday, sent me the tracking number and updates on tracking :)

Both bats are supposed to be 2-10oz but feel lighter, full profile and very good pick up. I usually never say a bat picks up lighter than it weighs but these do and that why i think the bats are lighter than 2-10 which i am not complaining about. I have not measured the edges or spine but as is with most bats nowadays they look about 40+ mm edge and 60+ mm spine. Early indications are they are going to go very well ( I have a ball in my office) and Pro edition pings very well off a new ball..rest the time will tell..here are some pics.

Awesome and even the butterfly one looks amazing.  May I ask the price?

Would love to have the follow-up review once you knock them in.

I feel embarrassed saying this but i didn't pay for these, my dad did and he won't tell me how much!! even though I am in my mid-30s this is one and only thing I always ask for when parents go to India and I don't really ever find out the price!!

RS Pro bat looks stunning ! Does the face have a slight curvature or is it a flat face?

The bats look great. In terms of performance where would you rate them vs other brands? Do you think they compare to something like the SS limited edition?

I haven't tried the limited editions or other higher end SS bats, in terms of performance (early tests on these ones and my match bat from last year) these are amongst the best for me.
