Pete, I'm dying to see the review of your Redback match bat ...

Btw, have you had a chance to break out the Chase Finback (Graeme Hick bat) in the nets yet? That one just makes me go hubba hubba hubba  everytime I look at it

[petehosk]

Well - I did do a full review on the Redback a year ago - if you haven't seen it then go to

http://custombats.co.uk/cbforum/index.php?topic=3498.0

The Chase is a beauty, but not knocked in yet so will not risk it without a gentle tap first! 
It is a stonker and cosmetically it is a stunner. Taps up damn well too.

Thx mate, I had read that review some time ago. Just didn't put 2 n 2 together, since it was in a separate post. Great bat that!

Hope you get to knock the Chase soon and get to use it as well. Willow that special should get loads of facetime with hapless bowlers

Can't promise the Chase bat yet, or a M&H, but I have got some amazing bats in my collection ready to be photographed!
Keep watching over the next week and will post a couple of bats with lots of pics.
Then am getting a nice new Nikon DSLR for Crimbo, so it wouldbe rude not to put it to good use really!!

Anymore updates Pete ?

(stares at Show unread posts since last visit in anticipation)

[petehosk]

Have some good news and some bad news!!
The bad news is that my daughter decided to take my brand new lovely Nikon digital SLR into school so will have that back next weekend - which is a shame as I had a bit of a camera shooting weekend planned yesterday and today! 

But the good news is that I counted what bats I had in my collection yesterday and I do not have 80 bats now....I actually counted 115 bats!  That was a bit shocking but it means that there will be more work for me to picture tham all. But more joy and entertainment for you guys!!

115?! Flipping 'eck! Surely you're in line for some world record mate!! That's bonkers!
