Post by: Gurujames on July 13, 2015, 06:37:00 PM: I have an Aldred Supreme which cost £175 posted. Butterfly 1 grade and its performance is excellent. In fact I am going to get an Aldred Spectre for next season as I'm so impressed with my Supreme. It has a high middle and weighs 2.12. However, picks up no heavier than a 2.9.
Give Paul a call.

Post by: tim2000s on July 14, 2015, 09:24:53 AM: If you are looking to spend £200 quid, you can't go wrong with any of:

B3
Hunts County
Red Ink
Blank Bats
H4L

I've used bats by all of them and all have been excellent.

We always have forum prices which is a discount for forum members and there is a sale on. To be honest £255 isn't expensive compared to some other brands but all depends on budget. £175 for a custom made bat is an absolute bargain!

If you have any questions then let me know
