Bruce, when 'the next big cricket forum' comes along I reckon you should do a Prince and invent your own squiggle - get designing!

Currently using a Gray Nicolls venom viper, 2'8, and occasionally a Hunts County Glory Custom, 2'10. But both have got cracks in them (one inside edge, t'other outside edge, so it's not just me being crap in one specific place! ;) Although it might well mean I'm just crap as a general rule... haha) which are getting fairly substantial so next season may mean an overhaul of kit (softs included!) next year! This winter shall be fun... :D

Have you parted company with the ss already?
I'm currently using my 3lb Redback paradox, feels like its getting better each time I use it.
-
The SS is currently being used by a better batsman than me.
I was foolish enough to show it to him at a game we played together
He begged me to let him use it.
I regret it already
I am a prat
-
Using Salix Custom made - 2lb9oz with lowish middle. Feels like a 2lb10oz. Pick-up and middle is the best I have ever had.
Also used a GN Powerbow Andrew Strauss.......... Dream pick-up and huge for a 2lb8oz
-
at the moment a grade 3 H4L part made that I shaped myself to 2lb13oz with a low middle - goes like a train which is a shame as I seem to have forgotten how to bat this season!
-
Salix praestantia performance, 2.8, 8 grains. Best bat I've ever had, by far!

SAF Hades 2lb 9.5oz if i remember correctly.
Probably the best bat ever.

Thats a fantastic run of scores, you've probably hit more runs there than I did in about 10 years when I was younger. I've been pleased to get 27 and 36 in the last 2 games after having 3 single figure scores before that.

(http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd117/fake_street_spirit/Bats/SSGladiator.jpg)

-
This bat is nice - second ball I faced with it came out the screws beautifully.
-
Fusion Sports G1
10 straight grain, 2.12, 2 grips, awesome pick up and balance and a sweet middle!
So what's the deal on Fusion Sports? They don't make bats anymore unless it's a special order?
Things that I have hear is that they used to whittle the bats near Crewe UK - then they started importing from India, and now they have sorta gone quite.
The reason I ask this is cuz I picked up a Fusion Sports bat on the Ebay the other day, it is supposedly one of the models that was made in UK, and I am just wondering what's their general bat reputation like?
-
2lb 9oz Redback Alleigance 3 years old but still going well.
Awesome bats.
Is Gary still in business or is he retired?

Currently I'm using;
Neon Blue - 2.10, been using the same bat for 4 seasons now and goes like the clappers (it's a G2 too!). Recently refurbed by Ryan.

-
I currently have one of James Taylor older version bats it came to me as a oblivion e41 test and was refurbished by gray Nichols and came back as a f18 le high spine. It is a custom shape and is 2-10 it has been rehandle district into a normal sh and is a belter of a bat.
Also use one of my b3 which is a great great bat and is just starting to really be played in and is going really well at around 2-10 I think
My two best bats my tonto need some looking at I have delaminated both and both need some tlc through over use.

@raza147 and @amritpremi - Amazing bats!!
@raza147 - Blackcat seems to be not much in the news, is this a new purchase? I'd want to buy a Joker Extreme and the Shadow one day.
@amritpremi - What profile # are these B3s..Please pardon my ignorance - I'm sure these could have been discussed on the forum earlier.
-
Bat 4 Africa labelled bat I got from @FattusCattus last year that even tho had seen some use still goes well. Think it was prob a TK made stick that comes in at 2.10 currently with 2 grips on it.
Used a lighter 2.8 RK last that I got from @Ryan to use for nets etc last Sat for a quick fire 66 that went well, might be using something new shortly though if it arrives prior to the weekend 👍

@mrazvi the one on the left is thin edge high spine warner & the one on the right is TKC Pepsi bat
@ursmasti that Laver Signature is stunning.
-
@amritpremi - Thanks, wonder what TKC stands for? not sure about the Pepsi reference too. Need more research on B3 :)
@Buzz - The more blankbats I see the more impressed I am. Always great willow, and you have some wonderful specimens.

This is what I going to be using this season

@amritpremi - Thanks, wonder what TKC stands for? not sure about the Pepsi reference too. Need more research on B3 :)
Hi @amritpremi
The TKC is the initials of Tom Kohler Cadmore, who is a county player that B3 sponsor. The Pepsi name is his nickname, given because Kohler Sounds like Cola, and therefore the connection is Pepsi Cola. The bat is name after him because this is his created profile. Hope this helps get your B3 knowledge a bit more up to scratch!
-
Thanks for getting me up to speed on the B3 @Batbuddy99
My current match bat is going to be Malik reserve edition. While others get knocked in, USSZ is backup.

I'll be switching to a B3 Bespoke of my own design. Long wide middle. Have two , one a 3 Stripe 2.8 match bat and the other a 1 Stripe (50% voucher) 2.10 net and early season. Both feel 2.7. Not a pretty shape I know but it is a mix of older themes and picks up like a wand.

@sarg Nice profile mate.. What are the edge and spine size on this one.. Nice convex profile with spine running down the toe this is what i had in my mind.

@singapore rookie Crown willow is low density 3 stripes I thought
-
that is probably one of the best looking 3 stripe, wonder why it didn't qualify for a crown
No idea, tiny pin knot near the sticker? To be honest i have no idea the denity. There is a slight variation to them as the 1 stripe is 400. Might be 380-390. I was shown a pic of 3 clefts to choose by Streaky and even though i was 8-12 grains any day, when I was shown it i thought HELL YEAH!
They both ping well but this 3 stripe is a class above. Worked on above 60 bats last season to pay my cricket fees, earn donations for the club and incrementally buy and knock and sell bats to buy these two.
I made a tiny fee for knocking and spend it all on my kit. I have a great kit and deserve it only through hard work, not ability haha

Here is my supply of bats that are (or would be) getting used or prepared for the season
(http://i1206.photobucket.com/albums/bb450/CPye061194/20160430_171605_zpsbhecyx5f.jpg)
From left to right:
G1 hellfire - still being knocked in
2lb10 on the nose as seen.
That's with 1.5 chevrons and a helicopter scuff sheet.
This is the first time I've weighed this bat, I picked it on feel and because I love the shape. I had no idea it was this light.
Could become my match bat when fully knocked in, it definitely taps up nice and it's not fully prepared yet!
A mystery blank I use as my net bat - being used in training
Weighs 2lb9 & 5/8 as seen
That's with half a chevron and a H4L scale grip applied, along with a helicopter scuff sheet and a bit of fibreglass tape.
There's a few cracks on the inside edge and the toe that I've repaired. As this is my net bat that's fine, it's saved the match bats!
This is another one that hadn't been in the scales until today.
H4L G2 NV
Weighs 2lb11 & 5/8
This is with 1.5 chevrons applied, along with a helicopter scuff sheet.
Swapped with chad over the winter, fully oiled and knocked in.
Used in a few nets, and it pings like a trampoline.
There a couple of grains starting to open up, not the prettiest bat in the world but my potential choice on match day.
And last up (and not pictured) my H4L devil
Weight is 2lb10 & 5/8
This beauty has 1.5 chevrons, a UK scuff sheet and fibreglass edge tape applied.
It is in the Hellfire shape and is just right for me.
It feels good in my hands, pings as well as anything I've used and just gives you confidence when you look down the back of it.
It has a stripe of heartwood down the inside edge and a couple of hard bars, but I like heartwood there and hard bars don't bother me. Not one for the G1 all sapwood brigade, but I love it! It may only be a Devil, but this is al,oust certain to be my weapon of choice come match day!
-
T20 DW replica
Wet weather BAS Dolphin
Match bat Aldred
Nets, the others.

I'll be using my custom made 2.10... enjoy the pics

@safeer - beautiful profile - this isn't Ali in the Woking area is it?

@jd163 - Very nice L&W bat !
-
@jd163 - nice pair. What's your thoughts on the Silver Sovereign and Mega? Both profiles I like.
-
That Sniper & Laver mega looks chunky
-
@jd163 - nice pair. What's your thoughts on the Silver Sovereign and Mega? Both profiles I like.
Silver Soveriegn got the lowest middle in the Aldred range, it picks up like 2-8 and superbly balanced but i wont recommend it the butterfly grade. Still trying to get used to the hard sound butterfly cleft makes. Paul's craftmenship is one of the very best and all his bats feels atleast 3 oz lghter than their dead wieghts. Finishing is top notch.
Laver on the other hand feels bottom heavy which is fine with me as this is my T20 bat. Laver has a distinct sound to it and performs very well. It is more suitable for slogging in the last overs as this is kinda heavy for a long inning. Basically a big hitter bat for really low bounce pitches.

Laver & Wood, Sachin's Profile, 2.14

Sorry for the late reply guys...I had a CA bat long time ago ...the best bat I had and always wanted a new bat exactly like that. This one is made in UK as per my specs by Morden Sports.
In terms of specs, it's 2.10 but feels fairly light...42 mm edges ...thin semi oval handle and off course the fullest profile you would ever see.
@FattusCattus - Yes, it's the same guy from Woking but his name is Anjum Zeeshan and now his shop is in Morden, Surrey :)
-
B3 Pepsi Crown willow at 2.12 and a thick oval handle... what a pinger and picks up a dream!
-
H4L Hattori 2.10
H4L Devil 2.10
willowsix spitfire (has weight taken off so its now like a Chase finback) 2.7
really want something with a more traditional shape although both H4L are new... want more don't need more
H4L used to make the tempo which was more traditional, right?
-
I'm using a 2.12 newbery. Best bat I've ever owned and I'll be looking at getting an exact replica made of it towards the end of the season.
-
aldred spectre 2:13
-
puma bionic 4000 stickered up as a phantom
-
First games today, I used my M&H Amplus/11
-
I used my @uzisports Black Mamba LE.
Boy oh boy.
-
Laver and Wood Mega High profile 2.10. Stickered up as a Kookaburra Ghost. Amazing bat.
-
B3 crown custom- ridiculously good bat
-
H4L NV.
Our opener is using it too. He hit 98 today. I got 33.

What happens if he's still in when you go out to bat?
-
Use the affinity carbine, Aldred supreme or bulldog spirit. (No Swearing Please), better get a few more in in case.
-
Missed out his own bat, a kookaburra. Sorry, but too snobby to go for any off the shelf bat myself.
-
B3 crown custom- ridiculously good bat
Not endorsing ur own brand Michael? Or is that due to not wanting to devalue it with some low scores 😜
-
Saturday's I'm using my h4l Nv I bought as a net bat. It's coming out of it like cannon fire!
Wednesday i will use the Warner in a match for the first time, I want to get a few games under its belt before it sees the new ball.
-
Got a nice little range to choose from, but all depends on what the wicket is like b3 3 stripe custom shape 14, puma platinum 6000, chase volante R11, blueroom bombara elite, blueroom Storm elite and looking to add a RPC custom and blueroom avalanche in the coming weeks
-
A non branded grade 3 Kashmir willow, 2.7 al-cheapo.
Has a nice balance and the pickup provides an accurate feeling as to where the sweet spot is.
-
well i had every intention of using my new purchase NB DC580 (purchase off the forum of course) the entire team had a little knock up with it before the game with everyone commenting on how great it felt.
When push came to shove though i walked out with my B&S LE (another forum purchase) its a great bat. nuff said.
I must say though as it had been spitting i had all 4 of the bats in my bag in my hands before i went out... in the end i just thought.. wtf, use what you want and worry about it later. The curse of CBF - PIBD Pre innings bat dilemma.
-
A 2lb 8 CA 8000

H4L G2 Hellfire - 2.12
Same as last year, and half the year before that, still going strong.
Same for all conditions & matches, I don't buy all this 'bat for low bounce', 'bat for high bounce' rubbish. It'd take me longer to adjust to a new bat than it would to adjust to the pitch with my Hellfire.
Don't be such a princess, go out there, and hit the bloody ball!

If they can have a bowling coach, a batting coach, a fielding coach, a wicket keeping coach, a fitness coach, and a head coach, then I would like to have a bat for low bounce, a bat for high bounce, a bat for inswing, a bat for outswing, a bat for leg spin, a bat for off spin, a bat for reverse sweep, a bat for slow bouncer and a bat for Yorkers.
I would like walk on the pitch like a golfer with an assistant caring by bats on a donkey.

Very nice!!!

Well, playing in the local midweek league last night I was batless due to varying circumstances so went in 4th with a Duncan Fearnley Attack in polyflex (with what looked like the original grip) that was lurking in the bottom of the team bag. I always used DF when I was young so thought why not. None of this fancy concaving, no big edges just an old fashioned cricket bat with cracks in the face but it went really well. I finished 43 not out including a decent 6 and a few 4s.
I had forgot how good the old DF bats were.
Steve
-
Hopefully
If the weather holds out
It will be the first use of my b3 I got from Streaky as a cheap bat to start the season with.
-
Very nice!!!
Cheers !!!
-
Still been using theH4L Devil as it goes very well, but the new Warbird felt good at nets last night so that's having it first outing on Sat! I haven't got on with it so far!
-
Harrow MC 1000 2.3
Small Mens Oblivion e41 1200 2.4
The Oblivion was bought from GCCC at the end of the season, finished knocking it in but didn't get a chance to use it.
The Spartan feels lovely but has a bit of damage to the toe.
-
My B3 Long Blade Trott is my current match bat!
-
What happened to the Hunts @tim2000s, I thought you loved that bat - or did it turn you into too much of a dirty slogger?
-
Have been alternating between my Red Ink and my RK (which ironically I have had my only not out with). Though have bought myself a beautiful MH09 as an engagement present to myself.
-
GN Warner
-
What happened to the Hunts @tim2000s, I thought you loved that bat - or did it turn you into too much of a dirty slogger?
It accompanies me to all games, and gets used in slightly less clement weather, being my other match bat...
Then, when I don't score runs with either, I can take out the Dynadrive LB or the Instinct LB or the .......
-
GN Warner off the shelf model 2lb 9lb hope its not to heavy for my waak arms.
-
Mongoose COR3 for LMS (53 and 35 so far this season) and Salix Falx are my two match bats. Mongoose sometimes gets used on a Saturday if quick runs are needed.
-
GN Warner off the shelf model 2lb 9lb hope its not to heavy for my waak arms.
Get to the gym and use the real GN Warner

Custom RPC made in front of me, what an experience it was bats an absolute gun!
-
B&S elite pro, 2.9 just a stunner opened up so well, don't think she will last long as cracks opening up along the grains already but she pings
-
One of James Taylor actual bats bit heavy for me but also my great tontos
-
Far too many people are making up bats and not showing and evidence of these weapons being real.
Just an observation.

My match bats (currently getting refurbed)
Proper Bats bit of delamination but should be good to go very soon love my tonto's

How heavy is the James Taylor stick mate? Looks ridiculously good.
Also what are the brands of bats in the last picture?
-
One of James Taylor actual bats bit heavy for me but also my great tontos
The James Taylor is a special bat. Had it my possession for a couple of net sessions and boy does the ball fly off it! If it was 2.8 he would not have got it back, not a chance at all.
My match bat is a rather special SS or my Michael Clarke replica

Yes bat is good now I'm back to 2/8 it a tad heavy for me mate too!!!

You'll have to give me first dibs Dave on the Taylor if it ever becomes surplus to your requirements

Not the place but I think a lot of my bats will end up in the sales thread soon enough

very minimalistic...I like the idea :) may be I will play around little bit with font style.

A bit of biffing required

I'm using the Neon AOC test bat. Very impressed with the response and pickup with a bat that has a slightly lower middle.
Blocking a near yorker, I timed it wrong and ended up flicking it away for 6 over deep mid wicket. At least it would have been a 6 if it wasn't expertly caught on the boundary. I blame the bat.
-
Here are my 2 guns I am using this season in matches.
M&H is 2 10 pro grade with huge edges and spine...very little concaving.
Hunts County 2 9 pro grade custom made by vitas. Its the best bat I've owned so far... ;)
(http://www.seoladder.co.uk/gloves/IMG_1329.jpg)
-
County's a stunner
-
Can we get a shot of the M&H concaving?
There is concaving but it plays just fine...havent noticed any difference. The edges and spine are so big the concaving doesnt make any difference
Edges: 43mm
Spine: 63mm
Toe: 34mm from center and 25 from sides

Yup just a tiny bit of concaving

I have a similarly concaved bats and it is one of my best bats, absolute trampoline! I wish I could get a similar deal in a 2-12/2-13 bat M&H International.

Gray Nicolls Select
Original weight was 2.10 but that was without an extra grip and scuff sheet so probably around 2.11 now...

The bat is 2 9, its custom made with a super light pro cleft they had. Weighs 2 9 with a thick grip but feels like 2 7 really. Its the best bat I've ever owned and its even better than my M&H.

Those might actually be my favourite stickers around right now!

Here's mine, only taken 6 attempts to get it to work.

Gray Nicolls Select
Original weight was 2.10 but that was without an extra grip and scuff sheet so probably around 2.11 now...

Pings beautifully and sounds like a gun as well...
How you found this? I need a new bat as Aldred completely went Saturday. Like look of this and the prestige. I'm trying to get to vitas to have a look but for price the select and h4l warbird are looking good

I have no complaints with it! Lovely bat, feels great and looks great as well! Can't go wrong for the £160 I payed for it!
I'd definitely recommend it! Being a guy who only uses Gray Nics it's the perfect bat for me!

Here's my match bat. Bought it from ebay. It seems to be a custom shape. The bat has very light pickup and long middle. Scored some big sixes and lovely innings so far with this bat.

That is beautiful! How much did you get it for and what's the weight?

That's a really nice profile on the H4L
Never been a fan of the stickers but that profile is lovely

I bought it used from eBay. Paid around 145 gbp including shipping. Easily one of my best buys from ebay.
Weighs 2-11 and i have to say picks up lighter. I am use to 2-10 weight and this i can easily swing around. Hit couple of flat sixes off pull shots and the ball traveled.
Next time will get this shape copied.
May be @hell4leather cricket should do this as a standard shape.

3 bags at the moment:
Willostix Spitfire 2015/16- shape 2lb 8
Willostix Spitfire 2014 shape- 2lb 7
Willostix Anaconda (stickered as a Spitfire)- not sure on weight due to so many repairs and adjustments as I've got older
I'm quite keen on getting a Salix Pod or a Newbery Kudos in the future though

Chase flc 14 grains 2.8

Using my Laver and wood 'special profile' Reserve. Weight is 2.6. Love it.

So far this season seem to have settled on my BAS dolphin. Though I am netting with a recently acquired Bradbury, which is likely to replace it very soon. Then will net with B&S st profile, which tapping up seems fantastic.

Il be switching to a GM Flare or my Mrs old Salix after our opener done some GBH to my kodus on his way to 161* at the weekend. :( :(
-
using a Kook Ghost, with its twin brother waiting in the wings should anything happen
