Hi fellow batlovers
Ive been ofline for a long time, not having bought a proper bat since my lovely Red Ink crashed and burned.
Being a dane, not having any local shops around, we always end up buying online. While Uzi, IJC, and Hanif sells handpicked and pingtested bats, the majority of players end up buying off the shelf bats with a random "light" weight denomination and no clue on the look of the actual bat.
This made us gamble with good ol' benzasia. I bought a maxgrainer many moons ago from ebay, from a guy with this email: benzasia@yahoo.com not knowing that was actually RNS himself.
We have bought plenty of bats from the FB Auction, and if you dont make a fuzz, its cheap and easy. However, I bought a GN Stealth Limited Edt. India version for around $140 (cheap!) and it was announced as 2.8oz.
On reception, I checked the weight to be just around 2.13.
I told him that this made the bat useless to me, and asked if he could please weigh the bats and post a photo of the scale. He said return the bat, and buy locally so I could scale the bat myself. Scaling the bat takes too long, weight is an estimate. Then he more or less banned me, and everyone on my FB friendslist from buying.
Just a little tale from us danes trying to buy bats we actually had a chance of seeing, and getting a few specs on before buying.
