If you order it tomorrow morning and drop me an email on tom@mongoosecricket.com I will try to get it shipped for a Tuesday delivery.

wow, that quick? Im hoping I get time to place the order tonight so its in the mailbox tomorrow morning, so when i do I'll drop you an email

[Tom]

I usually say 7-10 working days, however if it's a birthday/special occasion I'll try to meet that requirement.

I was about to start a thread on this too, Healy, Nicholas and Slater were talking about Mongoose extensively this morning, fist about the short one (cant remember the name), then the CoR bat that Smith uses. They were really complimentary and even gave out the web address.

Don't suppose you happen to have recorded that? I missed it, would be very interested to see what was said.

[leeroy_acko]

No didnt record it. They were talking about the short one (MMR is it?), Healy was describing it to the others, Nicholas had obviously seen it and further described it and compared it to an old GN bat they came out with years ago.
Then when Smith was out they had an extensive close up of his COR bat and said it was more traditional. Healy said he had been looking at it and testing it prior to the game on the square and said he was impressed, that it was a new company, go to mongoose.com for more info. it went on for some time...
He is an ambassador for Kook and GCCC i think, so he knows his stuff.

[Mr Cricket]

how much shorter is the cor3 than the blade of a traditional short handle bat?

[Howzat]

1" shorter blade, 1" longer handle I think, like the Uzi

[Tom]

1.5"

All can be Custom Made to profile and you can add the personalisation, grips and if you drop me an email even specify the grain you'd prefer. The Series, Custom and Custom Pro refers to the grades of willow. Custom Pro being the highest (G1) whereas Series is G3.

So is there a sticker or mark on the bat that indicates it to be a Custom G1, or a regular G2 or G3? I mean, how would you know what grade of willow is used if all of 'em are called CoR3 ?

[Tom]

There's a sticker on the bat, yes.

[Sitonit]

^^ Cool and what would be the cost of a Custom Pro in 2.8 ?

[Watsontotty]

Think i may invest in a cor3 if i can pick one up reasonable, got the mmi which impressed so as i said keeping my eyes open for a coR3.

[Skully]
