Thought as i was bored but up the profile for my bats this season
First up Typhon its 2-14 and has 54mm edge and is big all over made from the zizi but super sized

Next up my old trusty zizi may be slightly under 2-8 now after a year used great bat and follows my theory on need of a big spine good all round bat and great (No Swearing Please) up 41mm edge.

These are my bats but as i will be playing less look out for a sale thread soon enough as i'm not a collecting type and only really need a couple of bats...
Next up the new potential match bat a modded PEPSI 2-13 man this packs a punch 46mm edge and big used in the nets it also picks up extremely well the people who saw it where amazed at the weight!!!

Next up trial Bat i have just started using Streaky messing around with handles and glues plays very well very concaved 2-8 edge around 35mm i think pick up very well made from lower grade but plays well

Next up a very special bat from another source very nice was 2-9 and a half was a ssh but thanks to streaky it is modded a very nice bat 40mm edge

Next up my Modded Mull was my match bat for the last part of last season went like a screamer proper good bat great balance and pick up 2-12 42mm edge this bat converted me to heavier bats

I stick to one i net lots and try different things out dead weight is only one part of the process and i trial lots of stuff out but tend to stick to one or two bats to play in the season...
Netting lets me know what works and what doesn't in extreme situations also trial and error. I tend to always stick to what i know though but love trying out bats
-
Big fan of all of those, especially that Godleman one!!
-
Having seen most of these bats can honestly say I'd not know where to begin as Dave's got a lovely collection! The modified Pepsi with the square toe is my favourite and I'd never of guessed the weight was 2.13.
Is the Typhon looking like being the starting match bat Dave? Or is it a long winter till April?!

Are you planning to sell the Typhoon Dave @procricket B3 ?
-
This is not a for sale thread mate if I do I will keep you in the loop mate but think it will be staying in my bag mate as its a special bat
-
Hey Dave - luuuuuuuuuuurve the white stickers - can you purchase these seperately, I'd like to put a set on my B3 bat?
Also - have you retired the Sulphur?
-
Sulphur with the 1271 in the garage.
Not sure we have any white ones left will check.
-
IN THE GARAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sacrilege - you sir, are spoilt for choice!
It better not put any weight on in there :)
-
I assume you get paid in bats and not money?!

Not at all I trial some bats I use others I guess I have used lots and have a good feel for somethings.
I'm not collector mate I do play lots and net a he'll of a lot and try new stuff out..
The trial bat has a new handle resin like the two competition winners there using a different glue.

Top top bats Davey boy- that Tonto and zizi 😩
-
Too big for your delicate guns!

Haha you obviously haven't seen me lately 😉💪

Serious collecting that Dave! Some very big chunks of wood!
-
Some sleepers there Dave, as in railway sleepers. Mightly impressive!
You don't think this big edge thing is a bit of a fad then? ;)

Yes I do mate to a degree I think if people looked beyond big spines and decent sized edges with the right pick up things like the zizi are the way forward with there quantity of willow in the blade and the pick up.
But each to there own my theory is bat speed vs bat weight trade off and always will be and finding the optimum coverage for the weight

Heres mine :)
