Yeah I don't Tonk the ball usually, but even the graceful shots I bothered to play were flying. Granted, the distance I hit it into the roof wasn't far, but it was still travelling! :)
UK ones are made by a top UK batmaker Janes has told me, though his identity must remain secret, I don't know..feel free to speculate, but the uk ones are damn good; could be very tempted to take this out with me in a friendly game to see what damage it can do!! I think roco's mate had an Indian made which flew like stink off the middle, so the indian mades aren't that shoddy, I don't think :/

5. Salix Fera Performance. This was acquired in a trade with Pete Hosking, and it is a nice little bat. I spent £15 getting it cleaned up, and applied a nice Pink Grip (the only one I had spare) as collectively, we had made the grip quite grubby swinging the bat around I guess :)
Weight is just under 2.11, I think 8 Grains, and again about 25mm edges, and a nice profile. Though IMO, the 25mm edges are not Beastly as Salix describe in the centre sticker!!! Enjoy the pics :)

Cheers mate. Yours came from Peps I believe. I was really impressed when I got it at 7.30am 2 Tuesdays ago, and thought it deserved a bit of tlc to spruce it up and show it off a bit more! It's a little corker I have to say, some shots were really rebounding well...!!! :)

Ryan, ending up with a BR and a Warsop isn't that bad a result ;) I didn't pay for it, traded about 45 Hammer Edge sheets and 10 Monster Stickers for it, but I would have paid £85 if buying it. A top deal from Pete, if you're ever after a bat, ask him first, as he has some stunners, including a particularly nice Grizzly in 2.7 I almost went for :) - and they're all priced nicely too :)
Hope that answers the questions, really chuffed with the purchases so far, especially the Salix :)
