Title: T20 bats
Post by: jameswhite on May 07, 2011, 09:54:52 PM

Been looking for a T20 style bat, dont want to spend over £150. Thinking of a black cat joker grade 3, or a lekka RDX big hitter (saw some massive ones on here earlier.) Any suggestions?

I've got a G1 Joker 2'10 and it absolutely flies! Would definately recommend it if you can get hold of one. Yet to use it in a match sitatuation yet though through injury.

The joker isn't that small either, you can tell the difference but its not as radical at the goose.

do you think the grade of the wood will have much impact on how far it flies?

I'm not sure really as I haven't had a knock with any other blackcat bats, so I've just got to go on what I've got...

I suppose it does make a difference, however I wouldn't pay full price for one. I got mine off a fellow forum member and for the money I paid for it, it was worth it.

Having used Mongoose, Joker and Bulldog Spirit20, it is a tricky choice. How do you play in T20? any different from normal?

All three were good bats, but they have different characteristics. Search for my review if you want more info, but unless you play majorly attacking in T20, I'd go for one of tthe latter two.

Used a mongoose in the nets and was amazed and its within your budget
