Title: Buying a new bat (£130 to spend)
Post by: GeorgeB93 on March 28, 2014, 02:16:24 PM: Hi,

My first post so apologies if I'm in the wrong place.

I'm looking at the BDM dynamic power super on Online stockists.

Was wondering whether or not it would be worthwhile going for this bat or looking around elsewhere? If anyone has any other suggestions for a bat that would be grand.

Thanks (:

Post by: kal_m on March 28, 2014, 02:32:50 PM: Get something from the forum sponsors. Based on what I have seen/read here, H4L and Aldred butterfly are top notch.And you cannot go wrong with BB or Red Ink also.

I STILL have this available, can't believe it is still on the shelf.

Post by: mattw on March 28, 2014, 04:28:35 PM: Similar to the post I put in the 'under £200' thread.

I would go for a Solitaire without a doubt, always produces good performing bats - that are completely handmade in the UK and he does everything himself there. Pressing, handling, shaping, finishing - you name it and his after sales care is fantastic. I've just got back from there myself after getting a bat refurbished and it's looking fantastic.

You can get one of his bats for £125 brand new which will be a Grade 1 or 2, or if you can stretch to £150 he'll be able to sort you out something special in terms of grain structure on the bat.

Post by: shoab68 on March 28, 2014, 05:29:20 PM: Usually BDM Dynamics are on a heavier side, around 2.12 plus. Would suit you if you use heavy bats otherwise forum sponsors can sort you out with a decent bat in your budget.

I am glad you liked the bat and it was good to meet up
