My New Pro Bat
« on: August 14, 2008, 08:50:43 PM »

Intro

Right, today i was down the nets with a couple of lads from my club, and we went inside to wacth england vs Zealand and the club pro came in who is sponsored by bas vampire and plays for Cape Cobras in south Africa, so he came in with the massive box of bats so everyone was crowding round when he started to open the box, so out came 12 brand new bas vampire shadow bats all made to his specs, so after everyone stopped gawking at the guns Benji hector (the club pro) piped up and said 100 each so i quickly rang my mum for a birthday advance.

The Choice

He had every profile you could imagine, very high middles very low and medium. The one that stuck out the most was a 2.9 monster, its F!%$#ng huge it has 40mm edges with a medium middle,
Performance

after i bagged my bargin i strolled back to the nets and had about 20 throwdowns, i sent them right back at my friend very hard i thought bloody hell this is the dogs-nutsack but i did not wont to dent it two much so when it comes to knocking in i dint have a fat dent.

Looks

after getting over that the bat had so much ping for 7-8 grains i studied the stickers, i think they a very sexy with the black and the chrome stickers so all in all i am very pleased with my gun without a trigger, i would value your professional opinions from the pica below.

Thanks for your time.

A lot of overseas Pro's buy bats cheap to sell here for a profit, I remember seeing D&P Thunderbolts 10 years ago from our South African. They won't 10 bats for any other reason, a county Pro might only have 3/4 bats

Sorry, I don't think it can be a pro bat just because it was bought by a pro. As has been stated else where, it is only a pro bat if it is being used, or has been used, by a professional. It doesn't look amazing, of course absence of decent photos may be to blame, but the stickers are nice...

Right, these 12 bats where hand made for Benji hector according to his specs, and anyway banbury cricket club pays him a hefty fee for coming over to england to play for us in the home counties premier league.
