Title: Off the shelf 3lb+
Post by: windyroad on July 06, 2015, 05:57:54 PM: Evening chaps,

Long story short after a long lay off I am back playing and looking for a new bat 3lb+. To my shame I am hopelessly behind the times having failed even to glance at an equipment catalogue during that time. I know, I know heresy! Anyway, am I right in thinking that apart from the Gray Nics extreme range and the odd heavy Kook I would be struggling to find anything off the rack in that weight range and have to go custom?

Cheers.

I would suggest talking to one of the retailers on here - I'd be amazed if the likes of Jake @Vitas, Asad @Uzi or Paul @Its Just Cricket didn;t have something on stock, or could get you something pretty quickly. I've used all 3 of them, and they all offer superlative, friendly service.

I believe Jake is at Gray Nics tomorrow.

Whereabouts are you based?

I've got a fatso, it's all middle and about 3.4, picks up ok but I'm far from convinced by the quality of finish
