All time Sports Direct bargain
« on: December 20, 2023, 06:27:21 PM »
So I spotted SD had a SH G2 Slazenger V1000 reduced to £32 on their website, and thought I'd take a punt. The idea was to rebadge it as a Joe Root NB and have it as a spare. I knew it might be a stinker but for £30 it felt like it was worth a punt.

I've just taken delivery and had to share a photo.



I thought the box felt a bit light, but I didn't expect a size 3 to pop out of there!

Mike Ashley is trying to buy out the Castor contract with England cricket and have the England teams in Slazenger.

😂😲

I thought you were joking, @Buzz. However, a quick Google tells the full horror...  :o

Just had a look on SD cricket and absolute shock they have some Salix bats in SH at 50% off god knows how but could be a bargain for someone

Tbh that’s about what I expect from SD. How’s the grains & ping lol

Grains are hard to see under the layer of magnolia eggshell. The tennis ball I tried it with pinged like crazy though. Picks up like it's 1lb 3.
