Title: Recommend a bat please!
Post by: Maverick06 on January 06, 2016, 10:20:21 AM
Hello guys,
I am new to this blog.
Can anyone please recommend me a cricket bat as per the specifications below.
Absolutely full profile (no concave), maximum straight grains, light to medium weight range, sweet spot overall, edges not an issue, with a bow to hit lofted shots and great balance of course.
Which one would you recommend? I have done some research of my own.
I have few options like SS Limited Edition, SS Maximus, BDM Dynamic Power Super, BDM Dynamic Power Extreme, SF Power Bow 20-20, CA 10000 & BAS Vampire Exploder.
Any of above or any other you would recommend?
Thanks.

What is your budget mate? I'd be tempted to go for a Custom Red Ink or a Hell 4 Leather personally
I've used a couple of H4L and loved them. I have only seen one Red Ink in the flesh (it was a belter!) but I've never heard a bad review about them.

With  you Knowing  what  you want why don't you ask one of the  batmaking Sponsers on here to make you an handmade bat to your own specs  should you decide that's a way for you to go I would  recommend  Red Ink  cricket also as a member of this forum Red ink may give you a discount

@ItsJustCricket Platinum bat looks to be a good fit for your requirements

How much are you looking to spend? Why don't you try custom bat makers? They have some good profiles that suites your need. Anyone from Red Ink, H4L, Aldred or B3 should be able to help you with that. For that matter even the Jake @vitas and Chris @IJC should be able to cater to your needs at any price point.

Hello!

Yes - wow! The Platinum is a perfect fit!

Custom bats is a decent idea, but just remember that you only get to choose form a selection of 1. Whereas we have 7 bats in stock in the Platinum, so could help you select through them all, and they are exactly the same shape as you're looking for!

Have a look here,

Maximus is one of the best bats from SS. I have yet to see a bad Maximus. A few team members and other league guys have it and all of them are exceptional.

if you want a made in UK bat then Platinum does meet your requirements.
