Another Car Booty Bargain :)
« on: April 25, 2010, 08:34:42 AM »
Well - another car boot sale, another old (ish) bat - the Gray-Nicolls Mega Power. I've seen scoops and dyna-drives, but have yet to see a Mega Power!
Anyway - not sure whether to refurbish the bat or leave it be?
If anyone has owned this type of bat or knows a little bit about it then i'm all ears - cheers!
By the way - this bat also comes with one of the best stickers i have seen.......as the pictures will show :)

shame that jesus didnt show a little more love to this bat, it looks knackered, would it be worth a refurb? i say yes for experimental purposes if nothing else!

nice conifers ;)

Bit early for sarcastic remarks isnt it Leo???
It does pick up heavy as the majority of the weight is towards the bottom of the bat :)
Mr.c - i'm not a big fan of these often over-hyped sofa shots - windows and gardens will do me fine :)

I think it should scrub it pretty nicely - just an issue of refrubing it myself for free, or sending it up to gray nics for a full refurb and new stickere? I think the grains shouldnt be too bad underneath from the looks of things, 8-9 i think

Yeah agreed, should come up nicely. I think with bats like this, I would send it back to Gray Nicholls. Didnt someone say a refurb costs £25 from Gray Nicholls or was that some other company?

Gray Nicolls should definately bring back a modern bat with 2 scoops - they're so cool!

Just the profile looks really similar to that kookabura you were saying looked like it was made to pick up heavy

Would be very interesting to see it refurbed by GN, and the condition it would arrive back in, what would they sticker it up as?
