This is a review of my new Pellara Elite which I picked up for £135. I have not yet used it, however I will be using it in a few weeks.
About the bat. It weighs 2.7 and 1/2 and has 9 straight grains. There are a couple of tiny marks on the face but you don't really notice them. It pings beautifully of the mallet and picks up amazingly light. The edges are approximately 27.5mm. As I say I will be using it in a few weeks so I can tell you how it plays.

| I really don't know. I'm still wondering that myself. I walked into the shop and there it was, just sitting behind a £100 Pellara pro, it wasn't even that cheap on their website. |

| Yeah. Total bargain that one is, the TOTR stuff from Adidas is nice, but I am knocking in a club graded bat, also a Pellara, for a mate, and it is pretty dead near the toe with a small middle - though, that said, when I hit the middle with either the ball or the mallet, it is VERY responsive! |

| Ohh, yeah I guess that they are worth a punt. Wait for the 2011 stuff to come out and get down to the shops in March or now if they already have it. Though I don't believe for the price they are worth it. I would say that you could get a better custom made bat (from Redback, SAF, H4L, Blueroom etc...)...and a decent net bat for the full price you would pay for an Adidas Elite. So, on balance, not really worth it, but it is your money I guess. |

However Johan95, if I was to choose between
GM Luna, Adidas Pellara or Slazenger V100
which one do you think I should get???????
These three bats are a bad comparison, the Luna has a much lower sweet spot than the Pellara or V100. It's impossible to give a valid answer without information about your batting style, position in the order, home pitch etc. |

| Skip the Luna then, if you have a bouncy pitch and play on the backfoot then a low sweet spot is a bad idea. |

| You don't get much choice with the weight of junior sized bats, but you could probably expect most size 6s to be around the 2'4 or 2'5 mark. |

| Sure, with a custom bat like a Solitaire or Laver & Wood. For the big brands like Slazenger and Adidas though, the junior sizes are highly standardized. You probably could get a size 6 in your weight range, just be aware there is far less choice than for adult bats. |

| If you've found a supplier with a bat which meets your specifications, that's great! The V100 is an awesome looking bat so if you do get it, don't forget to review it! |
