Due to constraints on time, I'm primarily planning on playing T-20 cricket as a mid-lower order bat.
Affinity and H4L are probably my two favorite brands by some distance. For people, that have seen both bats in the flesh, how would you compare them ?

Don't believe the Toro is being made any more

Yup, there's a couple of lightly used ones I can pick up.

I've had quite a few bats from each maker. I've got a Toro but not had a Warbird. The middle will be lower on the Toro, pick up on mine which is 2.13 is excellent though. Love all the bats that I've had from each maker they've all performed very well. You can't really go wrong, pick which one you like the look of better or even better buy one of each!
-
Just pick the one with the best stickers because they will both be cannons
-
To me they are both very good bats but having used both I did not like the toe on the toro as when running the bat in found it can get stuck as it's got a very square toe the warbird has a round toe so no issues there and I believe h4l are making some of the best bats around at the moment

Without turning this into a Matt/H4L fanboy zone, I second this comment!
You honestly won't regret it if you buy a Warbird :)
-
Anyone know if the blade length is the same on both bats ?
-
I believe the Toro is a slightly shorter blade than the Warbird.

With a square toe..... ;)

It's one to ask him, it's often the case of if there's a demand for a product you consider fulfilling it but then I'm not the one making them Haha.

If you follow Marcus various feeds, there's something coming for this summer, it may not be a Toro but it's aimed at t20 if I understand him right.
As for the thread. My toro is awesome.
Ping is beautiful, pickup is fantastic, and if you run it in face down not edge down I can't see you having the digging in issues mentioned.!

I said either my laver or Toro, laver went first so kept the Toro.
To be fair it's got a lot of life left but as its used, not many will pay what id want for it.

Ahh fair enough, what price? Just out of interest, I'm not even sure what they were new!

Does the shorter blade require some getting used to ? I'd be getting it without ever having picked up one, as there isn't one where I live.

Also, does it pick up it's weight ? or lighter ?

I've been using both the WarBird and a normal SH B3 in the nets and don't really have to make any noticeable adjustment
The WarBird is a bit of a cannon!
Still undecided on the B3
-
I used to feel different using a Joker style bat - good batsmen used to hold it too low down the handle, but it also made me feel like I had to swing it like a club and go at everything (unlike me I know!)
However, the Warbird looks and feels like a normal bat, I see no reason why it would make anyone hold it or bat with it any differently.
-
Only ever handled one with an mmi3 so when I've used Toro and joker it's made no difference.
Some people will hold the handle further down. Which kinda defeats the object and is rather stupid.
Hold it in the same place and you'll be right.
-
I altered the grip on my toro, to create the oval bottom hand part two inches up the handle,to stop me dropping my hands to the bottom
You can definitely go a couple of ounces up on your normal weight due to the excellent pick up.
Both bats are very similar, any differences would be down to quality of willow etc
And of course availability
