Salix do manufacture Grade Two bats, usually sold in their Fera model or Performance models, however the quality of the willow sold in these bats is usually that of top end mass producers.....

Usually, the Rogue model will only have issues with apperance or Pressing cracks, though neither is a bad thing.

Honestly there are some manufacturer who sell bats similar to rogues in terms of appearence and they are there top of the line bats.

As far pressing cracks are concerned I would be very picky and fussed on them but seem like in this case they aren't there.

Yeah I've got the PDF somewhere, it doesn't shed much light.

Well the Fera is available in Grade One and Performance, but the rest of what you say is correct. 'Performance' is their in house name for G2.

God, I'm confusing myself.

Not necessarily, however I would be surprised if Andrew would let a clean bat that was a dog performance wise, out of the factory. Reputation and all that.

cover_drive. I have pm'd you previously about blue room. It is worth waking up and calling him directly with your credit card details if you don't want to email for security reasons. All cards are protected with insurance from the card provider from fraud. If anything happens you will be reimbursed. Remember Rob is puma's goto man so I think he is more than legit. Reviews from wisden and AOC both list rob's pumas in there top 10 bats of 2010, I think wisden has got it at number 1. So if you ask me about buying a bat blind then the reviews and the fact that you are dealing with the maker directly is more than a good argument to get blueroom.

Hi Lazza,

Yes, I am fully aware of your PM but the problem is that Robert Pack doesn't accept paypal whereas he accepts payment over credit card or bank transfer. I am a student and I don't have a credit card. I am 200% that I will not be scammed but I don't have a credit card from which I can pay Robert.

I fully understand what you are saying and I appreciate your comments as they were very helpful and sincere.

Thanks

AAAAH, o.k now I see the dilemma. What a shame. Can you get a visa or mastercard debit card, in australia you can get travel debit cards with a prepayed amount on it and use it as if it were a credit card. Check with your bank.

I have two banks debit cards. No I don't think that we have debit credit card as you are referring but it is worth giving bank a shout.

Seriously these sort of things are really frustrating  >:(

YOu can get those pre-pay cards in the UK as well. I'm sure that there must be something available in CAnada - this site certainly thinks so: http://dan.matan.ca/Canadian-Prepaid-Mastercard-Visa-Card-Reviews-Information

cibc is now offering a visa-chequing card - simillar to what the posters are saying above CD. it takes five minutes to switch your regular chequing card over - and you can use it everywhere (online shopping) as a visa card. will come in handy.

I don't think we have interest in the Uk anymore, or at least it feels that way when I look at my savings account.

no - its like using your normal chequing account, except you will be able to use it as a visa card. Obviously you need to have the funds in your chequing account to be able to purchase - its not like a regular visa card in which your extended credit and have to repay with interest.

This card gives the conveniance of a Visa - linked to your checking. Makes my life alot easier when i travel - as i have access to my chequing account everywhere Visa is accepted.
