And 100% blame is on the forum!!!
After already offloading a number of bats, and after my parents gave a few of my collection back to me (cluttering up there house!!) I am left with these..... Well minus the GT Cadbury which is heading out the door tomorrow *wipes away tears*

It's not all doom and gloom though as I have another purple stickered delight heading my way!
-
Very lovely collection, do you use them all or are some kept as momentous?
-
Some lovely looking Scats and Lavers mate,
-
Some very nice looking bats
-
Nah I use a few on and off, two of the lavers are my main bats, gave them refurbs just before Christmas. The scat with the pink grip has been retired, the slazenger don and laver sig are momentos that I don't use
-
I'm sure there's a fair few guys on here who probably have more. So you're in good company. I blame the forum aswell I've got too much kit for my talent.
-
Your problem is not enough bats ;-)
-
That is one really nice collection. If you do have a problem, it's a nice one to have!
-
Im sure offloading the Joker wouldn't hurt the size of the collection. Lol :D
-
Time to get a new family
-
Yeah compared to some on here this is nothing! It's a constant struggle to not get new willow. Yeah out with the family and in with some new bats I like it :)
-
Pretty poor collection to be honest ;) ;)
-
They look great.
Don't worry about your family, it'll be summer soon and you dont need a family in cricket season
-
They all still fit in your house = no problem :)
-
Nice collection. My wife says you can only use one bat at a time. I told her she can only wear one pair of shoes at a time.
Wasn't my smartest of comments.
Like the movember grips where did you get them
-
I told mine about shoes too and apparently I have more bats than she has shoes - then she said what's a bat worth compared to a pair of shoes. Think she has me there!
Got the movember grips from kingsgrove sports
-
@Jenko , how is the performance of Joker Extreme? What is the weight, edge thickness? Sweet spot location? Is it an over-dried or low-density cleft?
-
My missus knows how many bats I have and she knows how much there worth. She isn't stupid.
She doesn't complain though, as it's the cheaper of my two addictions.......

Mate the performance is great, one of the best of them all. As you would expect having a lump of wood like that!
Never measured edges or anything but can do that when I get home this arv. It weighs 2'12 or at least that's what I ordered. It's a joker extreme. Sweet spot is most of the bat! I might have a profile pic of it I will get one up.

Profile pic of the joker compared to a very traditional laver

Not sure I want to know what your other addiction is!!!
-
@smilley792 if you had as many of your "other addiction" as you did bats if be very impressed! Haha
-
Nothing to seedy. Lol. I just swap my cars far to often.
I've been driving for 14 years now. And had 78 cars pass through my ownership.
-
thats an impressive amount of cars.
i thought the rule for the amount of bats was n+1 anybody you complains obviously doesnt understand the need for a massive willow collection
-

What's the old cliche ,My biggest worry is that when I die my wife will sell my bats for what I told her they cost :)

My other half probably has ten times the number of bats I have in shoes, and all were more expensive than my bats. And still I have too many, apparently, but she can still buy more shoes. Go figure...
-
I've got a couple of bats and a load of old kit in the garage, a bat and more kit in the wardrobe in the spare room that I don't think she knows about.
Gotta work out how I'm going to get a new set of Softs in at the weekend.
I think I might have to eBay some kit as it's becoming harder to conceal it around the house
-
I've just ebayed loads of old gear. Got 6 pairs of pads and 5 bats sat here ready for the courier to collect today. Making room for the new B&S 274 gear arriving later in the week hopefully. Did ok with the ebay gear overall but a bit demoralising when you spend the time to list and package a couple of pairs of pads that sell for less than £2! :-[
-
Yeah I have to try and cull a fair bit on ebay. Find it hard to get motivated to take all the photos and get it all up there!

I wanted those autographed bats but completely forgot to get in touch. They went for nothing in the end really.
-
Shame, the Kook one went for £6 and the Fearnley £1.20! :-[

After you've paid the ebay fees you might even be able to afford a pint!

I know, waste of time isn't it! Cleared some space up in the house I suppose!
