New RP blue room
« on: April 23, 2010, 09:43:17 PM »
Thought I would share my first new purchase of the year. A Robert Pack Blue Room SWELL. Made with Light cleft to give huge edges around 54mm. Spec 2lb 14oz (a bit heavier than I would normally use), pick up is superb and feels really well balanced, 7 grains (usually like more), but i liked the part finished bat and went for it as the ping felt good. Had a hit with it in nets and my god does it go. Paid the extra for it to be knocked in ready to play, what a great investment, it flies already and I am sure it will get better. I went for the Blue/Yellow stickers but there are grey/pink, I am more a blue man. Big choice am I going to use the new one or stick with the trusty private bin. Let me know what you think of the Swell.

Looks a very nice big chunky bat! I am sure it pings like a bat out of hell (no pun intended)

54mm!!!!!! Jiminy cricket!!!! Thats massive, a monster of a bat - should fly off the bat with that profile, looks like a good investment to accompany the laver!

Get a ruler on that edge, have a cleft here with 75mm edges, hope to get it out finished at 60mm so seriously impressed by 54mm.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

He is top draw, I discussed willow with him and he grades his bats on performance not looks, which suits me. Although I would prefer more grains for look, performance trumps the grain no. Everytime
