Title: New Bat please
Post by: Parkman on April 08, 2013, 09:38:30 AM
Hello, new to this site & hoping you can give me some suggestions...

I'm looking for a new bat to replace my Screaming Cat which has just started splitting *sobs
It's a Series 3 shape Pennant with 10 grains, weighs 2.12 but picks up like a 2.9.
I'd found a retailer in the UK selling some & picked one up for a really good price 2 1/2 years ago.

I'm really particular about the balance of my bats & often find with non traditional shapes the transfer of weight when i'm hitting doesn't feel right. So the more traditional the shape the better.
I play a lot off the front foot so I prefer a lower middle.
Ideally I'd like to pay £200 (or less, obviously). I don't care what stickers are on there, it's all about the feel & the ping!

Hope you can help me out, thanks.

Get in touch with Blank Bats on here, They do a SCAT Series 3 Shape for that sort of price, I am sure they will have some beauties.

hi and welcome
if your that particular about your bat you should actually go and see one of the hand made companies that advertise on here.most are forum sponsors
I my experience they are all very helpful,very knowledgable and keen to make sure your bat is right for you unlike a shop sale.

£200.00 I think you are in the right area for a very nice bat
