Title: Bat help needed
Post by: jbrommo on April 14, 2013, 03:23:20 PM

Due to injury I have had to reduce my playing time(to maybe 12-15 games) but need a new bat for the coming season, and ideas of decent bats around the £100-£125 mark?

May help with suggestions if you give us some background information about what weight you use and playing style etc.

I normally use a 2.9/2.10, as for my playing style I like to hit the ball but still play straight preferably front foot.

What bats previously have you used and got on well with?

I've got a Kookaburra Recoil 700 going cheap?

My last few bats have been Kookaburra Kahuna's but have had a couple of cf bats too.

Have a look at Paul Aldred's and H4L bats.

Both have some great performing clefts at that price.
I have two H4L's at that price and they both perform the same as any Pro graded bat I've owned.

There are threads and pics in the H4L section.

A club mate speaks very highly of H4L bats, and I reckon if one becomes available in my price bracket I am very interested.

I love H4L, they are great,

In a thread the other day Reds said good things about V sports bats
