Rejuvenated Purist II
« on: February 09, 2011, 10:50:00 PM »
Right, a couple of weeks ago I took a punt and bought a GM Purist II with a split toe from Outlaw. I've always wanted one of these bats with its classic profile and readily parted with a small amount.

On receipt of the bat I decided that my very poor woodwork skills would not do the bat justice so I sent it out to GM themselves for a refurb. Their communication was quick and informative, and they turned it around in about ten days.

Anyway, here's how the little ripper came back:






I'm quite happy with the result and hope that I can avoid the bat breakers at nets.
Thanks for looking, A.

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.

GM charged £40 for the repair, new toe guard, scuff sheet, labels, grip, sand and polish, and return postage. Apart from the damaged toe it looks brand new from the front. I had to pay to get it there too.
Cheers,
A

Was the crack through the blade or surface?

Looks like GM did a sterling job and looks a belter!

it was decent Pep, as I had no qualms paying it. To be fair to Salix their capacity probably isn't comparable to GM.
