In a dilemma...
« on: November 29, 2010, 05:31:35 AM »
Hey Guys,

Hope you're well!

Well I am looking to buy a bat and I am in some sort of dilemma in selecting a bat. There are two bats which I am very keen to get. Personally I would love to buy both but sometime there are other factors (apart from money) which don't help you. Anyways, I am stuck between a Gray Nicolls Powerbow (from Prodirect) and Salix Factory 2nd (from Uzisports [This bat has no issues whatsoever]).

That GN is absolutely at a bargain price and I am quite tempted to try out a carbon fibre handle. Whereas on the other hand Salix is a stunning piece for its price as well.

Any help will be appreciated!

Thanks

I'd seriously consider having a chat with SAF and H4L. Waiting for my SAF, but the H4L is magnificent. They'll do you a fabulous bat for £150 + P&P.

Canners: No, never.

Simmy: Sorry that is not a option lol

Tim: Thanks will look into it.

mdl: They are stunning but I am scared to say they are slightly heavy for me.

Thanks guys!

It is one I have considered. The UZisports contact on here claims the bat is not flawed, which makes one wonder why it is a Rogue.

In the end something didn't add up, as I'd be paying £170 for a factory second bat, when you can get a G1 handmade from several folk on this forum for the same amount or less.

I love Salix, but £170 for a second? A bit steep.

I second Jon's comment. You'll get a lovely piece of wood from the guys on here for a similar price, and it will be made to your specs...

i did say this to Cover drive but we also need to remember how strict salix are when grading bats. there omly has to be a tiny blemish on the face and it goes into the Rogue bin.

i was thinking that you could get a better/new bat for the same, if cheaper from the various chaps on here.

I am picking up my Blueroom this weekend (Rob Pack - Puma's top boy) Just ask Prowannabe and Simmy about theirs.

Plus, the bloke is a top geezer. Well worth a shout in my opinion
