Title: Do you give your bats nick names?
Post by: Buzz on March 07, 2016, 10:09:09 AM: Seeing @WalkingWicket37 refer to his bat as Norman - I wondered if anyone else gives their bats names (other than what they were christened with!)??

I have had the "Boat" (massive keel-shaped spine) and currently use the "Club" (blank bats hulk bat)

Not all my bats get a knick name though, it kind of just happens!

At least I hope that's who I'm referring to....

Post by: Eliotroberts on March 07, 2016, 07:56:48 PM: I've never named a bat. But seeing cams latest h4l bats I decided I may name mine. Name will be released in due time. What do think ? Full celebrity name or a normal name ?

I'm not an 18 year old Daddies girl, but I have named my crappy Ford Fiesta.
It's called Vix, after an ex - as both turned out to be high maintainence & expensive mistakes...
