Did anyone see a Shane Watson bat when website members visited the GM
« on: January 18, 2011, 08:12:01 PM »
Hi Guys,
I have just got round to watching Shane Watson thrash England in that one dayer and noticed his bat looked massive!!!! quite different to a standard GM Flare or is it the GM+ Flare? Did anyone see any of his bats at GM when they visited? I remeber someone mentioned something about his bats being an 808 or something. I am just curious maybe those in the know on the forum might shed some light on this?

All I know is that he is meant to be extremely fussy over his handles. Would not surprise me If it isn't a GM.

He uses a standard Flare and apparently an 808

Fussy over handles? Number of grips or shape?

He has over sized handles then shaped a certain way if I remember right

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

Tony Zucconi looks after Watson's requirements here in Au regarding bats and they are definitely all made by GM

He is super fussy but he main requirement is that they ping and pick up has also been known to knock back plenty of bats that are sent to him

Tony looks after all the GM sponsored players here in Au for GM
