Anybody seen this thing? I mean, what in the flippin name of heck?

I'd expect we'll see it make its Grades bow at....ehm...... let me think now - Countesswells maybe?

"Massive edges" apparently. We'll I've never had any trouble using the edge of my conventional weapon, thank you very much, and for that reason - I'm Out.....

Although it could come in handy for sculling myself back for a second at Allan Park.

I think you'll find its already been in use at Allan Park....

Baz had one last season... Saw it out a few times in Legends matches...

Safe to say a fair amount of stick was thrown in his direction lol Laughing

Zeds got one for sure me old Arty mucker although i better not mention he cant use it apart from the mighty 6 he scored with it a DP1

I think westie at Mannofield has one too but he cant use it either Rolling Eyes Crying or Very sad Laughing Cool

Given you play baith sports,do you think hockey players will be good with this new bat.

You tried it?

I can think of one player for Cults-artos (Rico) whose style might benefit greatly.

Hmm

Liking the Baith! haha

Errrm yeah I guess it depends how good you are at hockey lol

I can see the dynamics of the long handle being similar to hockey etc..

Might pinch a shotty of Z's goose at a legends match and see what its like...

Nobody at Gordos has one as far as I'm aware!!

Have you had a bash of one??

Ivanhoe me old muckerette..........Rico has attended twa indoor net seshes this season and I can assure you that his fwd defensive is still as good as ever and he remains as agile as a scalded cat!!

Jock, Me also thinks that the only wood BB has seen lately is morning wood Rolling Eyes Laughing

Also you have to attend the curry night b4 you can ask for a shotty of Z's tool!!
