Some lovely B&S bats arrived back in store today, we certainly needed them as we were down to our last 3 bats. For the first time ever we have some harrow and size 6 Fireballs and Fireblades in too. There are some seriously lucky, lucky kids out there who will end up wielding these beauties.
I'm hopeful of getting some new softs in stock in time for the CBF event we are hosting on the 26th of October. I'll provide detailed pictures in the coming days, but for now, this is all i have of our new stock of bats.

I don't know if you know, but someone has taken the bats off the shelf and put them all over the floor...
Just thought you should know ;)

Best value money for bats there are in my opinion. Fantastic.
Their shapes are always evolving. I'll update this topic on Thursday with what we have currently, but in the meantime there is more info in these topics:

I'm speccing up individual bats right now, will post pictures and weights etc shortly.

OK, i'll start with the Fireblades, which are £180. Some of the best value on the market in my opinion.

2'9 as pictured, 10 grains, bit of heartwood, in the classic Fireblade shape; spine and edges.

2'12. Meaty! 7/8 clean grains, no concaving. This is the more progressive Fireblade shape which Chad got for a friend recently ( nudge nudge Chad, this one might have your name on it at 2'12 ;) )

2'8, fewer grains than normal but great volume and rebound to make up for it. It you want a light bat that GOES, this is it.

2'10. Couple of interesting imperfections high up the blade, but very attractive in the hitting area. This is my personal favourite out of the Fireblades.
--------
Now onto the Supremes, the flag ship of the range, these bats are sensational, especially for £230.

2'11.5, Lovely example of a clean face. Great pickup, and as always the performance to back it up. This is the bat that went to All Out Cricket and/or The Cricketer for gear tests/reviews etc.

Just under 2'11. Stunning face, wonderful pickup. I am in love. Move fast or this will be in my bag!

2'8. Lovely pickup, especially for such a low middle.

This 2'11 is a seriously big bat!

And now the LE's, which are the same spec as the Supreme in terms of willow quality. The LE range is always a little experimental in terms of shape. They are also £230.

2'11.5 with lovely clean straight grains. Progressive Fireblade shape, ie less concaving and a slightly lower middle.

2'12, another fuller profiled Fireblade shape, feels meaty in the hands. As always, great grains and rebound.

And there we have it. Enough bat porn to keep you all occupied for a while. :)
Any questions please fire away,

Good Effort getting them all reviewed individually! Sure everyone appreciates that!
I'm so frustrated with B&S as everytime I see one that looks like it has a touch higher middle its around 2"11 and the light ones have too much concaving for my liking.
They look like a cracking batch!

What about the 2'8 Supreme?
-
Looks a lot lower than the other supremes? It's maybe just my eyes! The 2.12 fire blade looks like a beautiful shape.
I suppose unless it is GT /Harlequin shaped I'm probably being biased / blind!

It is lower yes. It is a great shape the GT, and if it is your favourite and works for you, i'm not going to push a different bat onto you. We will have more B&S in the New Year, hopefully there is a suitably weighted GT shape in amongst them for you. :)

That would be ideal, no doubt I will keep a look out.
In terms of value for money the Fireblades are a steal!

Agreed, the Fireblade is probably the most popular bat, i don't expect the current batch to be here for long.

That 2.12 is my kind of bat... :( I really like the profiles they have done, the Supremes look lovely! That 2.8 is chunky for its weight, based on the ST shape?

The 2'8 is the one that was here when you visited mate. :)

Oh yeah! :-[ I could only imagine what it would have been like a little heavier! It had a lovely oval handle too from memory. :)
