Are you left or right handed?

In my opinion, you should always have heartwood on the edge you tend to use the most. I know most people say outside edge, but I think that depends on where your highest percentage of edges comes from.

I like them all. Tell you what, buy all three and you can choose - and give the other two to me! :D

Why sell your Dad's scoop to cut down your collection to buy one of these?

Not a fan of heartwood but like the edge/spine of the middle one.

The stickers nearly cover half the bat, one thing I don't like about Asian bats

Post by: Jacky on September 22, 2013, 11:07:51 AM

The scoop was a great bat and it was my dads but it won't get used by me as I have got some top bats in my collection I just got offered one off these and I really like the profile off them

Would go for no.2

Aren't these from Batman on eBay, if so isn't bat 1 2.8lb, bat 2 2.9lb and bat 3 2.10lb?

Don't like the stickers on these at all, but if I had to pick I'd probably go for bat 2

They are I use a 2.8 2.9 so for me it was between bat 1 and bat 2 have you had any gear off him before he's got some lovely looking bats

Ton bats as they are now known (SS is no longer allowed due to legal case!) are a mix!
Like any brand, you get the different grades of bats. Some will perform well, some will be guns, whilst you'll also get the odd plank!
Ton are a very large company and get tens of thousands of clefts every year. Therefore some will be average clefts. But when you think about it, there are likely to be a very large number of very special clefts in with that huge volume of willow! Unless you can hand pick them, then it is pot luck. But in my experience they do make a very nice bat!

Would I choose a custom bat made on this forum or would I choose a players/LE Ton? If I only had a bat or two in total, I would choose a custom bat made on this forum!! Why? Because I would want to make sure that I have a top notch bat, and would be able to pick the cleft and profile and the custom maker would be answerable to any quality issues!
But as I have lots of bats already, I have 3 Ton in my collection - and LE, a Gladiator and one from IPL player. Do they perform? Hell yeh! One has made it into my main kitbag, so it must be decent!!

The guy selling these bats is a nice, honest and reliable guy. I know him personally as well.

I'm sure he is Yash he sold me some SS embossed pads as men's but arrived as Indian small men's - called me personally and we sorted out with little fuss but I had to pay postage - strange as I'd queried and double checked they were std men's 1st.

But I will stress nice guy on the phone and he did refund with no concerns.

He is a decent bloke is nick and sareen are indeed a maker if top bats and they should do considering how many clefts they but.

There pressing is very good there stickers some don't like.


I would go for bat number 2 and I my trip to India was not going I would possibly go for bat 2 myself

I would definitely go for no. 2, overall a better looking bat in those 3.

Post by: Blaise on September 22, 2013, 01:55:53 PM
I love bat 2 and 3 - but as a right hander I'd take bat 2.

Personally, if you are on this forum you are (almost) legally binded to buying >1.

But seriously, I do like the middle one, looks lovely!
