Hello guys,
I have reason to believe my bat may be coming to end of a long successful career, I think throwing it near on 20 yards yesterday has killed it off.
So im looking at one of those 4 as an option, as are all relatively decent driving distances for me and all that :)
-
Of those I've only used Hunts, and I'm going back a few years too, but stopped using them as they seemed to break far too easily
-
Being a Forum Sponsor I would go with Rob Pack. I'm sure he would do a fellow forum member a good deal.
-
I have a lightly used Blueroom that I may sell if your interested. Save you a few £££'s on buying new.
-
i'd deffo go blueroom, love mine...havent hunts gone bust?
-
I've only used a Solitaire out of those stated, the bat performed very well but it came over weight and didn't pick up too well.
-
having bought and used a Woodstock recently, I highly recommend Woodstock as the quality of the bats and service is very good. I will definitely buy a Woodstock again.
-
Agreed the Woodstock bats look good, but how do you get sevice from them when buy a second hand bat?
-
Have had all those except for woodstock.
So out if the 3 I've had, the solitaire and hunts were decent enough but the pack (blueroom) was a class above!!!
Haven't used a Woodstock but have excellent feedback from two people who have!!
-
Get a Pack with the new stickers.....Rob is a top bloke and will be sure to sort you out with something nice. You only chasing bats that are local to you? Redback are quality too....but been to see Rob myself and its a good day out
-
Jenko, what were Robs prices for a factory visit? Feel free to PM me mate

Hunts County are still going and making bats in the Uk.
-
Tom you are a wealth of Knowlegde, are they(Hunts) your typical Keeley pressed bats?
-
They press them themselves. They always feel a little hard to me.
-
how much cricket have you played in the last few years tom?
the county bats I have seen and used have always been pretty good...
a lot of the county bats are part made or fully made in India these days.

I haven't played anything except the odd charity game or net with a pro.
You're correct in saying a lot are fully made, but they do still fully make a lot in the Uk. Particularly for customs and contract work.

only used rob and solitaire..
value for money solitaire
amazing bat,lovely bloke, knows what hes on about. and knows how to press a bat just right!
-
hunts i have 2 customs,and only if something special took my eye would i leave them :D
-
Hunts County do some realy nice bats

I'm about to come back to the UK again, mid-octoberish to pick up a Woodstock Curve XL - custom made for a guy who was selling off a number of bats on ebay and offered it to me as I missed out on a GN Legend and a Willowstix Big Stick.
Top bloke by all accounts who decided to sell me the Woodstock as he's receiving 5 more next season (newly sponsored). Must be nice to be able to do that if you're sponsored and get them for free! The photos looked good but will let you know after I've finally got my hands on it for a custom home refurb! Can't wait to get hold of it...... :D
