Title: Popular brands at your club
Post by: Alvaro on January 03, 2012, 05:40:11 PM
As mentioned in the Adidas thread: what kind of brand representation does your first XI roughly have?

My club has:
2 x GN
2 x GM
1 x Easton
1 x Redback (moi)
1 x BAS
1 x CA
1 x Slaz
1 x Kook
1 x Hunts

So it's pretty eclectic, though a couple of those are bats I've sold on...

Our clubs about half an hour from the chalet at the county ground so about half of the club use newbery's.

But in my team on average it's:
2xgn
7xnewbery
1 kook
And a Bradbury

I will change mine from what I said in the Adidas thread to better reflect next year:

1x M&H
1x Redback
1x Puma
1x Blank
1x Willowstix
1x GN
1x Adidas
2x Newbery
1x Slazenger
1x BAS

No trends there!

Post by: alba caerulea on January 03, 2012, 06:16:16 PM
Newbery has the largest representation at my club by a distance, Kookaburra probably 2nd followed by the other off the shelf bats. Redback is becoming popular too.

The top 6 in the order from our 1st team, including myself, use as follows :-

1. Newbery Thruxton
2. Laver & Wood - not sure of the name, believe it was a prototype, slightly smaller blade but not quite the t20 size
3. M&H Distinction
4. Kook Kahuna 1000
5. Newbery Mjolnir/Samurai (thats me)
6. Newbery Thruxton/Willowstix

Title: Re: Popular brands at your club
Post by: Red Ink Cricket on January 03, 2012, 06:21:38 PM
Mixture really, few old skool cf's, gms, kooks and the odd Asian brand. Mostly made up of my own bats I've made :) going for club domination lol.
Title: Re: Popular brands at your club
Post by: cricketbadger on January 03, 2012, 06:24:33 PM
no major trend

1x kook
2x kippax
1x millichamp
3x gray nics
1x slazenger
1x GM

and number 11 not sure he owns a bat, certainly no batting ability anyway
Title: Re: Popular brands at your club
Post by: Buzz on January 03, 2012, 06:30:20 PM
most of our first team use gn or puma with a few odds and ends floating around.
one of our players works at sheen sports and I think the discounts he can get influence the older players.
some of the younger players use colt stuff (not a surprise given its location to our club!)
