Personally I would try and pick up all the bats and wave them about a bit and see which one you like the most! Quality wise they are all at the same level, price wise not much in it so it's going to be about feel more than anything else....!

If I was buying blind then a Salix! But only because I want one myself!

I got 2 H4L's blind and they are both rockets. However any deal you go with off the forum will suit you well mate.

Welcome to the forum (or as a lot of people will call it, the wallet drainer)

As a proud owner of a H4L Hattori, got to be the H4L every time, as good as all the other bats are.

I agree! Some good bats on that list, hard to pick one without having tried them.

Most people will tell you to buy whatever they've bought if they are happy with it (which most people on here tend to be)

I have had experience of all the bats on your impressive short list and good luck in choosing just one! Not an easy choice  8)

Pete can't choose, that's the reason why he's had to buy a second house to store his bats

Why not buy them all, then decide. You could have 1 for different scenarios.

2 day match bat
1 day match bat
20 over match bat
Net bat
Wet weather bat
Catching practice bat

Perfect!

John, we have the advantage of being a 20 minute drive from the SS warehouse. So if a TON LE was to tickle your fancy, we could go and pick you a cracker at a moments notice. Or any TON to be honest, they are all the same profile. If you are anywhere near Peterborough or willing to travel then you are welcome to join us and hand pick the bat yourself.

We do have an LE that is 2'8.5 in stock, our other ones are a little heavier.
