Indeed this is what this forum does to you to many good sponsors and bat makers who offer some of the best bats available to buy

About 7 i think from a quick mental count
Title: Re: Be honest with me....
Post by: FattusCattus on February 04, 2017, 09:13:48 PM
My talent dictates that I need all the help I can get - ergo, multiple bats. Each one purchased will make me a better batsman than the last one.

I am not alone in this belief.

Only 4?

It seemed like you had more than that at the nets last week (unless you've sold a few since then?)

sold a few given a few away too no point holding onto bats which ain't gonna get used.

On average I break 2 indoors so 4 should be fine!!

seriously I gave away 3 bats last week to people who I know couldn't afford one...

Usually go in the handle and shoulders indoor more than toes but usually get a few nicks on the inside of the toe...

But recently found shoulders tend to go indoors!!!

Thinning out the collection gradually as down to 7 or so now. Back when I was unmarried and child free it was quite a few more. Still regrets selling off all but one of these though 🙈

2, can't afford any more unfortunately, but I have said if I was to ever win the lottery the first thing I would do is fill the garage with bats because .... well I can! The fact I don't put the lottery on is a stumbling block in that dream though.

11 bats heavier than what I can use, but have excellent ping most of them - so can't use
+ 3 that are at the weight i can use i.e. 2-8 but dont have good ping - so don't like to use
+ 1 bat is at the weight i can use and has excellent ping - have been using it for past two years and it died last week - so cant use it in future
= 15 bats in total
= 0 bats i have starting next week

10 for me.. although I did have 11 last season until I gave one away to a chap who didn't have one.

1 of the above is a garden bat for knocking tennis balls and the other is my old Slaz v1200, These were the only 2 bats I had when I found this forum!

Probably the best bats I've had in my hands. And that's after I gave Dave his Extra special SS and James Taylor back to him

Hahaha if I hadn't sold 2 and I had decided to buy a 'Wifey', you'd be correct! ;) 100 is the current number, but bare in mind that 2 of them are in Shropshire with @wilkie113 , 2 with my mate until I lose some weight, and 3 are sold pending payment. :D
