Hi all - there has been lots written about the weights of Solitaire bats on this forum.
There has been nothing directed against the quality of the bats...but more against the weights of the bats.

So I was thinking that we really need to ensure that we are being fair here.
Therefore anyone with a Solitaire, please specify what weight of solitaire you have?
And then in brackets put the weight you ordered!!

For example, if yuou ordered 2'10 and received a 2'13, then you would put

2'13 (2'10)

So I will start as I got mine from another forum member and therefore mine was:

2'12 (-) I pruchased it knowing what the weight was!

[johnnyw]

2`11.5 (2`8)

I had one

ordered 2lb12 low middle

Got 2lb12 low middle

[jonpinson]

I will add to this that I will happily pop along and see what I can find out as it is very local to me if people want to know.

[Simmy]

2.12(2.8 )

and i wasnt bothered cos it was a MONSTER!

Well rounding up johnny's all of them are 2.12 so far...though I think you may well be right. I wonder the reason for the high occurences of Solitaires in 2.12...is it to do with the profile and not being to replicate in lower weights.? Might be one to rephrase and ask Roger if you do go down, Jon..

My story with solitaire is that I ordered a 2`8 in the beginning of April last year. Firstly it took about 10 days for him to reply to each email.

My bat arrived in the middle of june and weighed 2`11.5 with a single chevron grip. I was annoyed with it but I said I would keep it as I was in the need of a bat at a time and didnt want to wait 2 months to send it back to him and get another one.

It worked out well in the end because it is a great bat and the extra weight doesnt bother me

2.11lb (2.10lb) great bat

[niceonechoppy]

2.12 (2.8 )

[johan95]

Lol how come Sam edited the last one haha. I see where you're coming from with your story Johnny, I take it you've moved up to that weight comfortably now anyway?

[lexx]

2'12(2'10) Great bat,slightly heavy on the pick up.Middle top notch.

He edited it and I edited Simmys as if you put an 8 and a ) next to each other the "Cool Face" smiley appears!

[johan95]

Oh yeah, didn't spot your edit...haha seen that quite a lot, like on the Bat Porn thread...! Fair enough, good work gents!

[Colesy]

Has anyone actually said to Roger that 'their bat was heavier than demanded, what is the reasoning?'

[mattw]

2'12 1/2 (2'11)


However today I did get a bit of weight taken off the bat by Roger and now it's pretty much exactly 2'11. They were completely fine with a weight reduction and I think it may have been free for the solitaire bat to have some weight taken off.

I shall write a review on it tomorrow with pictures.
