Ok, we may only be a small minority of the cricket market but as knowledgeable customers, and this could possibly be helpful for the forum brands, what do you want from your bats?
For me I like rounded faces, medium edges and not much concaving. What I'd think of as a proper English bat. Seems like from all the talk about the 2013 ranges everyone's sold out for flat faces and massive edges, do we all want this?
-
choice and variety :D
-
I suppose by the market not having any bats that I want it may give me an added incentive to use a bat for more than a season!

Give it a week or so fella, I might be able to buck the trend and surprise a few enthusiasts.

I want a bat that has minimal concaving, reasonable size edges and a round face, none of this flat face malarkey.
-
Rounded face with decent sized edges (around 30mm) and minimum concaving to give a big playing area. I like a bit of modern mixed in with traditional, so a shape like the Newbery Tour is what I like. :D Afterall, I'm going to need all the sweetspot I can get! 8)
-
I want a tree on a handle aka a huge lump of wood with a nice pick up
I'm not that fussy
-
For me I'd like to see a company offering a wide variety of profiles over their standard model range. As someone said about Kookaburra, all their bats look the same!
Oh, and an exact copy of a Purist....I've seen one on eBay I can't afford and, for this week at least, it's the best profile in the world! ;)
-
Why my go to a forum sponsor like H4L, Red Ink, James Laver or Safbats etc.. with your exact requirements and get them to make exactly what you want for a lot less £'s than one of the big boy brands

How is that Midas of yours going? If I'm honest, I think that profile and the purist are relatively similar, although I think I prefer the Midas! :P
-
i want the new blank bat that I tried the other night, a lovely combo of flat face, regular edges, big spine and not too much concaving... mmmmm lovely.
-
not bothered as long as it goes, picks up nicely and has nice stickers your fine.

It's going beautifully and you're right, it is very close in shape to a Purist. Sort of a cross between a Purist and a Mjolnir. Maybe the best of both worlds....?
Honestly, I forgot I had it...... :-[ Played so little in recent weeks because of weather my brain is going odd...!

Really like my SAF Hades if monies allow would love a replica.
If not just a refurb for my Hades.

That's something we can do
-
Someone is really going to have to do something stunning to tempt me. I love my Hades.. Don't actually want another bat!
-
Dont want/need a new bat - just want some sunshine next summer so we can play on decent tracks!!!

I'm after a wheelie bag... Easy you might think, but sadly not.
I'm after a bag similar to the Kook1000 but don't need a bat cave or the foot & helmet locker. Just a base compartment for everything batting with a few smaller pouches in it for small bits and then two smaller compartments on the top of the bag for clothes and other bits.. Not that much I know but I am yet to find one... :(

Have a look at a DF F-Tech double decker bag....that has everything you need...but 3 compartments in the top bit.
