So I'm batting tonight and the new sticks feeling, well, beyond anything I expected. But the noise it was making was just something else!! Can someone help explain it. You know that really hard ping noise, like a whip cracking. I can't think how to describe it. I think It's the first time I've ever been more impressed with the noise of a bat over everything else. Trying to explain it though is infuriating >:(
Never got sick of hearing 'god that sounds lovely mate' when the lads were coming to collect the ball I'd just destroyed ha ha. Doesn't happen often so you have to milk it when it does.
Can anyone else describe it better?? I'm rubbish.
-
A satisfying noise like someone annoys you and you hear there nose crack on your knuckles? haha
-
A screaming cat?
-
I always likened my newbery GT to the sound of a whip crack!
That or as if someone had got those childhood bangers and set 100 off at once

You couldn't crack an egg lad so pack it in with that big mister talk
-
For me, I had a performance grade woodworm torch that I got from eBay for £30 that sounded like that. Went like a rocket!
-
Bulb-crunching sound? :D
-
A high pitched scream ?!
-
It's hard to describe isn't it. It's high pitched and sharp but not so much that you think the bats not ready etc. It's just a lovely lovely BANG

I've never really thought of how difficult it is to describe the noise :o

Did it sound like this @ 0.46?

That's it. That really high pitched sound. Really crisp.
I was just searching YouTube but like the simpleton I am I searched cricket bat noise ha ha
Luke the fact its NZ smashing ENG as well.
Be more of the same when we bat on this road
Add the indoor echo and you've got what I am trying to describe mate
-
Sounds like a gunshot and your ears ring after. You also don't feel any impact with the ball as you've hit it so sweetly. That describe it?
-
Yeah that's a good one. And the feel is right as well. God its a great sound haha

1.22 for me mate

1.22 for me mate
That was Astles favourite as well!
-
1.22 gotta agree, sounds unreal!
-
There is one of some young Aussie left hander scoring runs in an empty MCG on you tube, the noise that his bat makes is incredible.
-
I didn't listen to it all. God that straight six was immense. As if were all getting giddy over a noise 8)
-
It's the best sound a batsman can ever hear no way off describing truly magic :)
-
Wow wow wow my new custom SAF is just amazing!
It has that lovely leather on willow noise when I push and glance, but I was struggling to describe the noise it made on two middled square cuts on Monday, someone said it was like a gun shot going off, and having listened to the youtube on this thread it sounded just like the 1.22 crack. I am still smiling now as I can hear it echoing around my head and can still see the new ball zipping off for four.
It truly is the best sound a batsman could ever hear.
-
my ricochet sounds like a cross between a whip crack and a gunshot! it makes my knees go weak every time i hear that sweet sound!
-
This forum needs a poet to describe it! 1.22 is absolutely class.
There's a beauty with Brett Lee hitting one out of the ground that has a fantastic noise! There's no other sound like it!
-
you could literally stick it on repeat all day!!
-
Stupendous SIX, one of my favourites, great sound off the bat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmIWL3qB-Dc#)
have a listen to this bad boy
-
I am reminded of something akin to a bullwhip cracking when stunning willow comes leather.
-
Gunshot -used to hear it when I middled something with the Newbery Excalibur - unfortunately it was rarely heard!
-
Nothing Sounds as good as a crisp clean shot on a nice piece of willow.
-
i wish i could record the noise of mine againts a new ball!
-
Its the sound of a rifle firing at 5am in the morning over the dew laiden roses of blighty.
