Got this a while back, has been sent back for a refub and older style stickers.
Was a custom from the factory (2001 profile) and has been great bat so far.

| This is another example of Salixs' pure class as a company. How much did you get it for? |

Bat cost £200. Was a bit surprised as it was downgraded due to the butterfly stain on the face. But i suppose i got to watch it being made etc.
Pete-Just how many bats do you have!! sounds like you have thousands. Maybe you should share some with us... |

Laver & Wood Churchill
Millichamp & Hall Harlequin
Screaming Cat Series 1 Professional
Salix Praestantia Performance (newer type)
Salix Praestantia Select (older shape)
Warsop Venom Pro
Newbery GT 335 SPS
Newbery GT 335 Players
Newbery Mjornir SPS
Bellingham & Smith Fireblade
Bradbury Custom made

I honestly haven't used them all yet!
The Millichamp & Hall and Warsop are fresh off the press, so haven't used them yet.
But both feel like they'll go like a b@#ch on heat!
The Laver Firefly did me well this season and am getting used to that one.
Haven't even touch a few of them yet, so not sure which one is best yet! Ask me again in 2 years time! :-)

| sh1t - and I thought I was obsessive about my gear. Puts the dozen or so in my garage to shame (not as I'll be using this as an argument with the missus!) |

I know its obsessive!!! And even if I think about the absolute minimum I would want to keep, then I would still have 10!
But I will sort them at some point in Spring clearout! So you could tell the Missus how good you are compared to people like me! ;-)
So Lucifer - when are you gonna use that Salix?? |

Ive used it all of the season just gone. Has been great. Got some trainings planned over the winter and will use it on the bowlng machine too.
Its in a worse state than it looks here though! |

The GT and Mjornir are 2 very different bat profiles. They both seem very nice balance and quality though!
The Mjornir is traditional profile with a lower middle. But considering the middle is lower, the pickup is still beautifully balanced - I was expecting it to be more bottom heavy but it feels surprisingly better balanced than that!
And the GT has a higher middle so the pickup feels lighter anyway. Both feel great, but I haven't had a chance to use them in anger yet!!
They both feel like quality bats when you handle them and hit them with a mallet. But I will only be able to judge for real when I take them into the nets after Xmas. From first impressions, I would say that they are decent bats! |
