The 2.6 reminds me of the blue room prototype

very nice indeed

[procricket]

tell you as people know i am a gypsy i will buy a bat off anybody and after seeing so many i had herd mixed reviews but i thought it is my weight and looked half good he emailed me saying if i was not happy i could return it but when it arrived it just looked the same as my Laver which i love and instead of paying 360 pound i paid 100 pound and it taps up very nicely indeed.

As we all know sometimes taking a risk is important i do not know were it is made but i have bought enough bats to know it quality.

I have checked the handle and that seems of a good quality as good as my SS so i'am made up.

It has a long way to go to break into the top 3 but we shall see.

Sorry meant the Friday of that week ha getting old

[procricket]

So whats the secret with the price ?

he wanted 50 pound more than i haggled to pay....

I think he just wants a good reputation i can not vouch for any of his bats i have bought this one and it seems after a few taps to be ok infact ok to good....

My bat ethos

If it pick up ok
If it plays ok

That all i follow in that order number 1 seems fine number two seems ok for a new bat.

yes it was off ebay thank you Pete Hosk for the spot.

I not saying all his bats are god but after hearing much about them good and bad i though i would give it a whirl.

Mine seems good and it was cheap before people ask yes the handle is of a good quality and fitted well i know enough to know it is of a decent quality.

Iam happy to knock in both tonight


A bit about the nixon it will take some time i think to knock in it sound ok but not as responsive as i would have hoped but iam told they do take time to knock in

Not a risk I'd be willing to take but fair play to you for going for it.

Why not Jon every bat you buy is a risk

Had a Laver
Had a Scat
Had a few others here and there

Thought why not i use all my bats or sell them i'am glad to say i will be keeping this one.

I guess though my other gamble last year a bat off Asad which was my first Asian bat was near a quarter of the price of my Laver but i kept using my Asad bat more and more and it became as good as the Laver.....

I guess the seller of this bat does sell bad ones but who doesn't and will i buy another off them who knows i like trying many different bats mate .

Iam not telling anybody to go out and buy them all i saying is this one is a bargain iam looking forward to showing whoever we meet on our Road trip iam sure they will be impressed too

It is funny though we all buy off a photo if i had not of  told you i had paid 110 pound posted off ebay you would have though it was a 200 pound bat

Because the seller has something of a mixed reputation, but fair enough. I'm not going to say any more incase you decide I'm being disrespectful again.
