^ I was in touch with Prowannabee regarding Blueroom and I have no doubt in Pack's credibility and I know that he is one of the top batmakers in the world without any doubt. There are some factors which at the moment are pulling me away from Blueroom. Personally I also love to buy a Redback but again due to same reason as Blueroom I can get it.
Prowannabee, I fully understand what you are saying. Salix do hold a high stature in my eyes especially due to there strict grading which some batmakers don't even consider. I mean there are some brands whose top of the range bats have blemish but if Salix bats have exact same blemish it is kept aside.
What I am assuming here is that if this bat has been moved to factory second bin due to cosmetic issues then I am assuming the performance would be same as top of the range non factory second bats, no?
Feasible, yes. Not necessarily the case though.
But the other Rogues on the Uzi site have photos detailing the specific visual flaws which made them Rogues. That bat has no such thing, it looks flawless, it looks world class to be honest, but there are no pics of flaws, and the Uzi man says there is no story to it.
I don't doubt Uzi, but the fact is there
has to be a story. As good as Salix are as batmakers, I also know they are not the sort to throw money away, so I say again, if this bat is flawless, why is it being sold for less than it could be? Also, why hasn't it sold? It looks like a rare bargain, but it is still there. Trust me, I have hovered over the buy button on that bat more times than I care to think about, but something has always held me back..
It is true what they say, there is no such thing as a bargain these days.
