Tighten the budget 75

�100 for right handers

�75 for lefties - those boys get the real bargains

I may have a left handed bat! That explains the lack of runs!

Lol. Sure would explain a lot for me too.

On that score:

Well, I guess you could wear em regardless of your cackhandedness or otherwise, but a bargain nonetheless - other sizes available.

Rather than add a new thread I thought I�d share a second bargain that I need your help with...

This bat was �25 and picked up for one of my sons because it was light

I have put on some B.B. stickers to keep the weight down but it�s not one of Tai�s Bats, in fact I have no idea what it is...

Best guess is some model of Puma as it has an old puma grip on the bat. It is 2.7 very decent size and goes like the clappers.

The stickers it came with were awful and removed when refurbed (Lorimers)

Any ideas?

Looks similar in profile to a Kinetic I had yonks ago. Looks great though, what I'm after really a lightweight stick like that.

Just need the rest of your kit for �75 now.

Sure it isn't just a Lorimers bat?

There were other sticker marks under Lorimers stickers and grip was nearly welded on... but I guess it�s possible.

Any advance on Kinetic?

I have some �20 Batas gloves and some �10 unbranded pads too - I am a proper cheapskate as it turns out

Thanks to Amazon I�ve picked up two GM Neon 303s for �30

I have decided to sand them off and see what a �15 GM looks like... I�ll post the photos and stages that I�ve been through

t2ylo · « **Reply #25 on:** October 07, 2018, 01:13:53 PM »

So this thanks to @Tom I fell lucky & spotted what I can only think was a mis-priced Amazon deal.

Having just sold a few bats and fancying a project I bit

And this is what arrived

One at 2.10 and other at 2.13
I removed the stickers. One bat was much easier than the other.
And I�ve given them both a pass with the sander with some 80 grit paper

I�ve been mightily impressed.
The lighter one has 7 dead straight grains quite a few blemishes & a knot below slice on back
The heavier one 9 grains and less blemished no knots.

No stickers, paint or grip has obviously shed a fair bit of weight.

stevat · « **Reply #26 on:** October 07, 2018, 03:11:27 PM »

They look great, well played Sir. Wish I'd seen that deal at the time. Do they tap up okay?

t2ylo · « **Reply #27 on:** October 07, 2018, 04:14:11 PM »

Tap up is decent on both (better on heavier one)
Won�t bother knocking in for a �15 bat

t2ylo · « **Reply #28 on:** October 20, 2018, 06:07:45 AM »

So I took the lighter of the Neons to nets last night.
No knocking in, just straight out the packet & play.
Bowling was a mix of decent seamers, medium pacers & gentle spin.
It really performed really well, pick up is great, it�s light but feels big.
Plenty of middle, I�ve used loads of bats in my time and for a first outing this is very acceptable indeed.
For �15 it�s a cracker. In a blind test u would never have guessed the grade. It�s just a high quality GM (but fuglier)
Also I didn�t worry at all lending it to our resident power hitter for a waft. He destroyed some bowling with ease.
It�s a keeper.

I wasn't there, must have been someone else
