So been looking int what bat this season.
been either looking at top of the range GM or New balance
Whats peoples opinions on either of them ??
-
'Bat' singular????????!!!!!!!!!!
Burn Him!
-
@Cublingtoncc why not go custom and get the shape you want, weight you want, size you want, stickers you want and then get a copy as you will always need 2!
-
Agree as you are looking at top end get something made to your own specs as the cost will be about the same and you may get better willow than off the shelf.

Might go for a gray Nicolls custom bat - but really really like the David warmer players bat - but deffo going to do the gray nicolls custom made -

I went up to B3 last week and can't recommend them highly enough - got to play with a load of different shapes which completely changed my perspective about what I wanted, chose my cleft (357 density!) and paid less than an off-the-shelf job.
GN Custom is an expensive way to get the same thing in my opinion. That said, I haven't got my bat yet so I hope it'll be OK....

Ahhh brilliant mate - who do I contact about doing that myself ??? Sounds a brilliant idea

Look at the B3 section on this site (at the top), or go on their website @ www.B3cricket.com (http://www.B3cricket.com)
They are based in Hucknall, near Nottingham. Took me 3 hours to get there last week but well worth it to get to play with all of the pro bats...

Brilliant thank you very much - would definitely be better to go and play with them first

Why not go to the pack cave!! And pick rob's brains he'll sort you out and he's a top bloke can't do enough for you I make the 7 hour round trip every year well worth my time !!

Yeah I've heard good things about him and the bats - I've got a few bats to think about nowe aha

@Cublingtoncc no need to go top end GM or NB in less you want to. I have mid range bats from both these brands from sponsors like @Uzi Sports and @Vitas Cricket just ask them if those are the two brands or profiles you want.
If you want custom either B3 or RedInk make quality customs and in addition never hear a bad word said about H4L either so worlds your oyster on here

Brillant thank you mate - Ive just seen on another link on here about the 500 kite which looks a really nice bat from GN so ive got a lot of looking around to do haha

I would also recommend to go for Custom especially with the amount of money you will be spending on top range bats, you should get something of your own liking. I personally would go for B3 myself. I have had good experience with them. I have 3 B3 bats including a crown.

I do like the look of the preadator so might justinvest this month in one of them. I'm deffo going to go the custom route

I got a Hunts G1+ made to the same specs as my match bat, couldnt be happier, picks up better than my match bat and responds really really well! hard to pick one over the other! only paid £225!
-
@Cublingtoncc - If you are interested in GM, then i would suggest GM Chrome Original cricket bat. Its basically a mesh of GM Octane and GM Mogul. Standard blade length with big edges and curved face. I personally have used both Octane and Mogul, at times i had wished for a fusion of these two .. guess someone at GM heard my thoughts !

Had a GM Octane Original and it was the best around - just keeping my options open for now.

@Cublingtoncc - Had a GM Octane ? What happened ? Broke or sold ?
-
broke :( :( :(

I am really impressed by the GM bats for 2017. The pressing seems to have improved. I have seen 4 GM 2017 bats so far and all pinged beautifully. You can go for GN if you need the halestorm or kookaburra Xtreme in case you are looking 3lb full profile beast.

B3 can do this.
I suspect (but do not know) that a £225 Hunts custom would be as good, or better, than any of the big brand's £500 offerings.

yeah ive dropped them a message so just waiting to hear back

You'd be hard pressed to find a better service from what I've seen on this forum

It is 'rumoured' that they have links with NB and make bats for some of their sponsored pros - although it is not thought that Root is one of them.

They can make a bat with Root's profile, even if thet don't make Root's bat.

Technology, innit? All they need is a good photograph, I think.

You'd be far better off getting whichever profile suits you!!

"Roumoured hey anybody who goes to the factory will understand many of them "roumours are very well founded...
Like I said go to the factory and see..
I may not be doing much with b3 anymore but there mates and there no rumours they do what they do and do it well.
Go to the factory they have a few special bats on there shelf which they have been given by a few of the roumoured players....

Phantom seem to be able to get them as well can't ThinK why though? 😉
-
B&S have a few sticks similar to the Root profile if that's what you're after; can get three for the price of a GN custom.
-
Really ??
@Buzz got one recently.
-
But the crown not being to your specs.....hunts custom all the way!
I bought it off a mate and it has the best feel and pick up. It was totally worth the fortune i paid for it.

The word rumoured (spelt correctly) was in inverted commas for a reason.
-

I have a G1 Root on order after chatting to @Buzz.
Either BB or B3 and you cannot go wrong. Incidentally I have a B3 Beluga 1 stripe to pay for tonight.
Can't comment on Hunts County but hope to one day....bucket list.

If it's any consolation, I'd rather be good at cricket than good at reading and writing.
