So here is my Salix Acid that arrived yesterday and first impressions are pretty impressive. So this is a G3 and looks wise it’s pretty decent. Always found Salix grading os fairly generous, grains are nice and straight and pretty even, small little mark towards the RH inside edge but it right on the edge .

Profile is convex, totally full shape no concaving at all. Weight is 2lb 9oz and it’s fairly large without being massive, edges are 35mm at largest point, handle is a medium thick semi oval handle which aids the pretty impressive pick up which again is something I feel Salix get right more often than not with there shapes and bats.

Now the two points that make for me Salix and AJK the best in the business. This finish is mirror shine good almost see my reflection and the response is top notch. Tapping an old ball has a real crisp snap sound and as and when it’s played in will be really good.

So price wise this is £297.50 direct from Salix or The Bat Guy which for G3 is towards the high side and £25 cheaper than the Salix branding Select which is the G3 offerings. But I guess price is subjective to what people feel is value. Personally I like the branding is brash without being to offensive and for me was just a little treat to myself







Can't fault this bat and it's branding! It's worth the money!

The front branding isn't my bag but looks ok, the back one looks like they wrote down all the ideas they had and then forgot to just pick 1-2 of them.

Bat is likely lovely, but relatively stiff pricing.

Not yet I think they will be soon. Available from The Bat guy on Instagram or emailing Salix direct at the moment

Cocaine Bats - you'd have to do about twelve lines to pay this much for a CA bat I've restickered in my bedroom.

Another example of a Brand CBF people love so try justify the horrible stickers that accompany an actually nice looking G3 bat.

I suspect there is already a brand called Speed.

Each to their own I guess, I like the branding by and large.

They used to come in handled, shaped and initial press, but without binding. If someone can direct me how to upload photos then I’ve got one here.

These have got to be up there for the worst stickers ever put out by an established brand.

Again each to there own, I personally quite like them and can think of many others that have been a lot worse in my opinion but opinions is what creates conversation
