is that the bride of frankenstein?

steady even franky wasnt that ugly!

[Perkins17]

yes it had the hologram sticker on the back
it does look bad but in person it does not look too bad with tape on

[roco]

so he has standards then good on him

[johnnyw]

That bat is nasty

[atscricket]

looks like grade 4 at the best, normally Wizard is much better then this quality!!

[Talisman]

If it is real then it is the usual trick of using a very cheap cleft to sell as a grade 1 bat, if it is a fake then it is the usual trick of using a very cheap cleft to sell as a fake grade 1 bat.

yer shoulder broke off it in nets

Surely that statement in itself describes the quality of willow?

[peplow]

Not necessarily, procricket laver has a broken shoulder that snapped and that was one of the best bats i have used!

[tim2000s]

Maybe, but this one looks relatively new. When did the shoulder go on the Laver?

[uknsaunders]

looking on the brightside,it can always double as a walking stick during the winter.

Looks aren't everything,my bat has black stains on it but goes pretty well and has an enormous profile for a 2'7.

[tim2000s]

I guess it comes back to the OP getting the bat for free, so whether or not it's a G1 shouldn't really matter as long as it performs ok.

[peplow]

The laver had seen a lot of runs, but was in good nick which is why it was weird! Was a beut though, i loved it then it went again!

[Perkins17]

tbf the bat is about 2 years old and i cleaned it up after fixing the shoulder so hopefully it will get some use in the nets over winter and i will see if it preforms like a grade 1

[atscricket]

It looks very much a fake bat.....no way u can hide such big knots!!!! MRF CAMEO is normally a better quality then this ( cosmetically )

[Perkins17]

it was the same as this with two little ready to play stickers either side of the bat below the stickers
