Having been on the forum for a few years I'm starting to think I'm slacking slightly, I have just the 1, yes you did read that correctly 1, bat. Yet it's one bat I actually really like, I was wondering how many bars do you guys have?? And how many of these do you actually use, whether that's nets wet weather or good weather match bats?
I should add to go with the one bat I have 1 set of pads 1 helmet 1 pair of spikes 1 set of thigh pads 1 box and when my new ones arrive 2 pairs of gloves

-
3 match bats(Warner, Affinty, b3) and 3 nets bats(b3, h4l Nv, bb). Plus an indoor bat(ca)
These 7 get used.
The other ten sit on my shelf waiting for one of the above to break so they can replace.
I want to buy a kook ghost too and still have my b3 50% voucher. So could add two more soon.
I have 3 pair of pads, GM rsb, new Ballance tc1260 and gray nics f1 Maverick elite. All get used.
Gloves. 4 pairs of gray nics(power is, kaboom, oblivion, legend) and a pair of b3 sausage. All used.
2 helmets(Ayrtek + Ayrtek trial, later only one will be used now)
2 thigh pads set( stretton plus spare stretton...........
3 bags, 1 match day(kook pro duffle) 1 practice(b3 duffle) and one to store all my spare gear in(aero mid size)
5 pairs of new balance spikes/Astros and a pair of puma Astros. Tend to use the cleanest.
And non of the above includes what's in my loft, which is a few more bags, pads, gloves and broken bats.
I have serious issues, but I bet I'm nowhere near the worst)

Where's all the other kit vanished to? You deffo had two lids and a fair few bats. Plus you had b3 softs, ss softs, and Nb softs!
-
In my car sorry what's in my car at work.
In my house that's another issue
Never had new balance pads my mum got me a pair of there gloves last season they went in two weeks Ss softs went mid season.
In my house I have a "few" bats haha but only b3 pads and a set of gloves
Lids I think I have 5 knocking around.
mega clear out soon I think.
:D
got some dashing coloured pads as you know...
Was being flippant really.
I have cut down in the last 3 years massively I know before I got involved with b3 I went through 40 bats once in a year
-
Dave, if you've got a well used bargain priced b3 under 2-10 give us a shout when you have a clear out 👍

Old bats don't count - they have to be notionally playable. ;)

2x pair of gloves
1x pair of strippers
1x pair of shoes
2x bags

I've got 4 bats (although it's looking like my GM will end up being used for everything) and one of everything else.
-
Spartan MC4000 from Vitas and my B3 Custom. Only used the Spartan for two short nets but naturally the B3 will be the match bat.
No more required.
-
Quite a few. :D
I am very careful when buying bats and I don't sell them. Each one has its own personality and I use them depending on my mood. Sometimes, I want to knock around and have fun with a very light bat and sometimes I just want to feel the punch hence heavier bats. Important thing is that I don't waste my weekend over a missing/broken bat.

@d7bow Have a look in the for sale section at the Billy Goodleman mate Dave had for sale mate - if he's still got it I've seen it in the flesh and looks decent
-
Long gone mate that one

Hmm
Only ever had one bat at a time too, until I started perving at bats on here
Got my two affinitys, my Toro and a spectre
But will be using h4l this year after spending a day down at matts workshop marvelling at his creations
I've got three bats currently being made, with three more for team mates,(that will increase)
I'm gonna be using h4l gloves and pads too, but toying with the idea of some really light pads

I was still a student last year and I ended up with 3 new bats, no excuses.
