The title is self explanatory but for me it was my friend's Hunts County Edge CC
-
For Me Redback Surefire
-
kook beast ( was borrowing it off aidy , was a lovely bat till i snapped it :( )
-
Cover Drive - sacrilege!! Have you not read the 11 commandments!???
There were actually 11 commandments originally, and the 11th said, "Thou shalt not cause breakage to others cricket bats!"
I hope Aidy forgave you chap! ;)
Best bat I've used (so far!) is Laver & Wood Firefly.
-
he wasent too happy mate lol , he was there , i was batting and he was already out , i walked out and i was like im so sorry mate :(
-
I assume it was one of his fave bats too?
Oh dear! But if you lend your bats out, then you have to expect that to happen eventuallly!
Always carry a bat for yourself, and one for someone else to borrow!! And never lend your fave bats out unless you dont mind it breaking!! ::)
-
My favourite bat was my m&h s6, but I am getting extremely fond of the new redback alliegance I picked up a month or so ago, the thing
pings in winter nets, such a long middle
-
Did you sell that M+H buddy, I am quite interested in buying it off you if it hasnt sold.
-
my own M&H Custom or a friends Slazenger SXI Elite Pro (Grade 2).
-
Salix Praestantia. Was even lucky enough to see it being made.
-
Screaming Cat Professional Series 1.
-
Salix pod 1- absolutely flew!
-
I have to say GM Maxi Original wasn't bad either, bit of a lump at 3lb
-
Reebok Little Master Size 5 lol
-
RNS Larson Euro short handle great bat massive profile
-
OK - have another question to add to this topic boys!
I reckon I have a few bats that will be equal to the Laver that was/is my best bat so far!
Do any of you guys reckon you have a new bat that will be as good or better than your best ever bat???
Or do you think that there is bat for sale , that if you could buy it, would be as good??? ::)
-
I would quite like a GM Apex Original L.E for 2 reasons
1. The profile.
2. It's a GM :D
-
The best bat I have ever used was my first ever proper bat. A kookaburra kahuna warrior, weighed around 2lb 9oz and it really flew. I used that bat for around 3 years, it broke and kookaburra sent a very poor quality bat as a replacement.
I think Millichamp and Hall bats would be a bat I would like to get. The size, ping and general look of them look immense.
-
I've never been 100% sure about M&H :/ just thinking you want get a custom made bat for much less, don't you think?
-
I would get the solution if i got one, its £150 for a grade 2 I think, I would go up to the shop and pick one if i brought new, but I am sure I could pick one up second hand to try before I brought new.
-
theres always my 2nd hand solution for sale craig!
-
Yes mate, I have £50 cash here, so I may well get in contact in a few days time. When you have some time, can you get some better profile pics for me? Cheers
-
my best bat was a powerbow pro performance 3 years ago hit my first ton with it when i was 13 off 64 balls!!!!
hopefully one of my 7 new kookaburras will be nice!! hahah
-
best bat ever used - kippax hydra and redback allegaince (cant decide between them)
bat that may be as good and if not better? - yep, my BlackCat
-
7 kookaburras christian? why so many?
-
got billions off here!! ask petehosk he is my dealer!!!! ahahahahah! i love the bats!!
-
He's getting 3 from me, and I think Christian purchased the used blade last week on sale.
And I think that Pinchy had a blade runner he's buuying?
Christina - if YOU had 46 bats, they would ALL be Kookaburras mate!!! ;D
-
I'd have 5/6 bats at any one time max I think
-
true fella they would i love them! i wanna know how mucha kookaburra restickering is?
-
Sorry pal - Christian - NOT Chrisina!! :)
-
Well - none from me mate! I think most are pretty honest!
I do have a grade1 Itias stickered up as a kookaburra beast - but i wont be selling that anyway!
-
Yes mate, I have £50 cash here, so I may well get in contact in a few days time. When you have some time, can you get some better profile pics for me? Cheers
yes mate, will do.
pete will send you some as well if your still interested in it. cheers
-
Well my email is: maccers1991@hotmail.co.uk
If you or pete could forward some pics to me, I would appreciate that.
-
I thibk that he mmeant that he would send ME some as welll.
But I have kind of taken a couple of bats that Hit4Six wanted from under his nose!
So send myself and Craig some photos ian, but will certainly give Craig first dibs on the bat if thats cool?
Don't wanna keep nicking bats from him! Or it may ruin a perfectly good friendshhip mate!!! ;D
-
no problem will email both! will be with you in the morning!
-
Oh right, I see now, well Ian, send some pictures and I will consider it.
Pete, dont worry mate, if you want that bat, go ahead mate, it wont affect our relationship bud. I just have some money, and as with all people, I have a feeling its going to burn a hole in my pocket and I will spend it before the new year. But Pete, if you want it, go ahead, I seriously wont mind!
-
maybe you two should have a bidding war, start at £100??
haha only joking guys, if either of you want it go ahead.....
-
Have more than enough great bats - but will discuss with you later mate.
Anyway - back on the subject again!
As I said earlier - best bat used was Laver & Wood Firefly.
But bats I have that may be equal to the Laver would be:
Custom Newbery
Custom Bradbury
Screaming Cat Professional
Redback Allegiance
M&H Harlequin
-
I must have had around 100 bats in my time, but I think I can only compare the 4-5 I have used for a considerable amount of time.
By far the best, as mentioned above, was a kookaburra kahuna warrior (graphite), however the Champ bat that I used last year (now owned by Liam_SCCC) is well up there with it.
Looking to get a M+H this year, but still slightly undecided. I may have to sit down on here one night and read some of the reviews.
-
i've said it a million times on this forum, that if you want a guaranteed top bat that has a middle all the way up, get a M&H. a lot of money but worth every penny when scoring buckets of runs....
-
Well - I must admit that the M&H Harlequin I purchased a couple of months ago feels like it'll be a beaut!! And they seem to be making excellent bats at the mo!
And bats I may well try next year are:
- M&H Distinction (dependant on reviews)
- Redback Limited Edition (dependant on how my premium plays)
- Black Cat (dependant on how Slogs rates his)
- Screaming Cat Peofessional (Dependant on how my second hand one performs)
Will no doubt see several other bats that will interest me, but play it by ear!
-
Its a toss up for me between my newbery lightweight (which i think may have been a harrow) which is still in the loft and the newbery series one for me! Both went like stink and not being a particulary defensive batsman i think i clocked a fair few runs with the series one!!
-
Hi Tom - good crimbo mate?
And di you manage to hold onto the Redback, or did your mate cough up ???
-
Yes thanx Pete answering emails at 2am this morning but you never can avoid work when its for yourself!! lol
Still got it at the moment he hasnt exactly rushed to come and see it and take it off my hands as yet so may end up going to a new home. Not sure ill need it in my kit bag as once the bats i sent to Hit4Six arrive back plus the mjolnir and Ayrtek one ill have 4 bats already!
May have to make way to put funds towards a new LCD Tv for when i move new week if there is any interest in it from people.
-
I know how you feel chap! I purchased a Warsop Venom pro for our opening batsman. £200 and he hasn't collected it!
So I may have to keep it myself, trade it or sell it if he's still not interested next month! :-\
-
Yeh not idea when Xmas was coming up! Will catch hold of him in new year though and sort it out im sure, if not will be up for grabs to someone as would rather be looking at a 37" flatscreen than a bat come january!
-
If you need to sell it, I'm sure you'll get a reasonable price for it!!!
-
My friend's SPS Mjolnir that he got from the Newbery shop down in Hove.
