SAF Mechten - been using it for a few weekends now and feel pretty comfortable with it. Might change for Sunday though and use GM Flare as my Sunday form is horrific at the moment...

Match bat is my increasingly impressive Hammer Hel156 LE. Net bat/back up is a GN Players Maverick. Then I have an old but newly refurbed Salix Satyr to muck around with. The Hammer goes like rocket  :D

Using a Kookaburra Blade (re-stickered with last years Recoil stickers)

Little crack coming on the toe but the middle seems to still be going perfectly fine. Taped up and hope that it holds up!

Will take my Chase 175 Beluga & my Woodstock Tour De Force with me
If I need to build an innings the Chase, I it needs a tap the Woodstock.

As I'm number 11 on Saturdays (we have a stupidly strong lineup, I was batting at 3 in a lower leaguelast year) I hopefully won't need to bat until Sunday

Yeah. Loving it at the moment. Slightly heavier than I've previously used, so took a couple of nets to get used to it. But hasn't let me down yet. Grabbed its maiden half century last game too. A really really well made stick. Chuffed.

Blank Bats 2"8, not done it justice yet, but it's going well.
Laver SR in reserve, used it properly for the first time in the nets on Thurs and it went really well!

My rather super Malik Sher LE or The Fugly Stick - dependent on whether the game situation calls for moderate violence or extreme violence.

An old school Salix praestantia. Been going strong for 5 years (although the last 3 it's been hidden in the garage due to a break form cricket). Can't bare to be rid of it although it is falling apart!

Hoping after today's coaching from jake at vitas my new slazenger 100 elite (not tas) will start showing itself. Have given jake nod that ill be looking at the bs LE next season after picking one up today. 2lb 10 and seemed a lot lighter, honestly nicest bat I've picked up so far for me. Feels a shame to waste the new slazenger too early though!!

Well my two bats are broken.   My kooka is on it's way back to Corby.  The handle on my warsop has gone and no funds to purchase a new one.   And all the boys at my club use heavy bats

You got one in the end? Any pics? I do regret selling my Sher... but hopefully couple of LE's on their way.

Using an SS Pollard (Red) this season.

Not having the best of seasons but it's definitely not the bats fault. I've nearly ruined two umpires this season. :)

Didnt want to waste a bean whilst my purist was being repaired. Bought a matrixx to pass the time. It went well enough to try another. Fully converted to mr aldred at the minute.  Think the guys at quantum offer an interesting service going for more diverse gear. Strange really as im very much a gm / slaz / newbery man. Plain and minimal  branded goods.
