New Salix!
« on: June 08, 2010, 12:36:28 PM »
So I popped into my local cricket shop to pick up some bits and bobs, as is the law you have to have a little pick up and swing of the bats on display, I found a stunning Praestantia, having had one before it was easily the best bat I have had, this picked up like 2,8 but weighs 2,11 and the ball pings off it like nothing I used before! Here are some pictures!






Pictures are just from a phone so really don't do this bat justice!

Was a little bit pricy at £290, It was a bit of an impulse buy to be honest!

It seemed perfect pickup for me and to be honest it's worth close to that just as a piece of art!

wow... if i ever wanted to sell my car, perform sexual acts for money and live on the street for a month or two, i would probably go out and buy something like this with my £290.

£290 is a fair lot of money for a bat, even by todays standards, however if you are happy with it then it is bound to get some runs!

looks like a beauty of a stick no blemishes I see, Salix always produce some great blades :) nice buy! Looks to be able to last a good 2 seasons with the width of those grains. 290 seems a bit steep but nether the less looks a fantastic blade.

Looks very nice but I personally wouldn't buy a Salix as I know they hold back their better willow for sponsored players
