My SS , thanks pete !
« on: February 23, 2011, 04:26:42 PM »
After wanting to get a new bat, I turned to pete. I always fancied getting an SS so I asked him if he had any. Quick reply from Pete and I soon started to dribble over this bat he sent pictures of. The bat was made for Yuvraj Singh , I wanted to get a really classy bat and this ticked every box. The bat weighs 2lb 10 but honestly, it feels so much lighter. The pick up is second to none. It has 35mm edges which is amazing considering its not a heavy bat. Pete got it from a contact who has excellent ties with SS and other companies so knowing that the bat belonged to Yuvraj makes it that extra special ;)  Started to knock it in this morning and it responds very well. I look forward to knocking it in tonight and will add my own pictures when I get time but for now,  I can show you the pictures Pete took. And a big thank you to you Pete, great service I am very happy !!











Enjoy :)

Love the stickers on that bad boy, don't get why the normal SS bats have half the blade covered up

That is a very nice looking bat. Pete delivers again and this bat will no doubt do you proud. Quite jealous :)

Looks a lovely bat with almost perfect grainage! Some beauties around at the moment that is making it very hard for me to resist buying another bat I simply don't need!!(but want!)

Hope it plays well for you dude

That looks immense. Middle would be a little high for my liking but a wonderful looking blade! My wallet is getting twitchy seeing all these nice blades, it's a SAF next for me though. Unless a tempter pops up lol

Really glad that you like the pick-up and feel of the bat....that's half the battle!
I knew it would be an absolute rocket of a bat, so was never worried about that.
