Nope - not liking it at all. Nothing interesting or eye-catching about the softs.

.... and as for the Gold bat, since when has that amount of concaving, and that shape of edges been deemed as 'retro'?

In fairness, if they had produced a bat wth an old fashioned profile, everyone would be bitching about the rubbish small edges and tiny profile...

Well I don't agree, as it would clearly be marketed as a retro bat, because it has a retro shape, which was thin edges and flat spine.

This bat is marketed as a retro bat with a modern shape - doesn't make sense to simple old me!

But then I've heard alot of complaint about the Fearley sticker designs of the last few years, but no complaint about their shapes. I honestly don't think in this world where we have all be brainwashed into thinking big edges are good, a truely retro bad would sell.

John, I think you're missing my point. I'm only complaining that they are marketing a bat as Retro - yet the shape is anything but.

That's my beef really.

That is a fair point that I missed, apologies. I think they'd have been better to re-do all their stickers with the old fashioned look, and stay away from saying retro. It is without doubt a better look than their recent efforts. They are literally on my doorstep, and this is the first time I've seriously considered going along for a visit in many years, so I guess it is working for them, on me at least.
