Something for everyone!

Pete, please can we see the bat you least like?

[petehosk]

Hmmm, interesting request! I like your thinking though!
It will have to wait until the weekend as I will have the camera back.
But yes, I can do that for sure.

I am aiming to have all the bats listed this year! 

[procricket]

one question are your bats insured

[petehosk]

I didn't think of that until last weekend when I was looking at the absolute quality of some of them.
In fact most of them are very good quality, as I have been choosy about what I buy!!
So I am looking onto it! Security is fine with 2 dogs at home. But if the house were to burn down or there was a huge flood then I can't imagine what the replacement cost would be! And some could not be replaced anyway!!

[procricket]

suppose in terms of a flood they would all become high density and high moisture content...

sorry could not help myself top bats pete as per usual

I'd get a safety deposit box at my local bank which can hold 115 bats.

BAT 38 - M&H Solution

I got this bat a while ago and as per a high percentage of quality bats, it originalted from Talisman. From what I remember it came from Tim (probably blank) and someone kindly saw fit to apply some older style M&H Stickers. I love these stickers so much that I have since purchased a further couple more sets from M&H!!
In the case of this particular bat, one of the things I really like about these stickers is that they do not cover up too much of the bat - so I can still look at the beautiful grains on the bat - aroubd 20 of them in all with heartwood galore!
It weighs in at 2'10 and 3/4 exactly but is beautifully finished and balanced with an excellent pickup considering the lower middle. Yes, the pictures don't do this bat justice really! If this bat was a person, it would be the girl who always looks good in photos, but when you see her in the flesh then you realise just how stunning she is!
No ping-o-meter readings yet as I just don't want to use this bat. It's a waste but I am happy to just admre the bat every now and then at the moment! 

Pics to follow shortly..................................
