For me this is mainly a fantasy, but at the moment, there's a whole lot of sticks that I really want to own at the moment - so here you have it, why not list the next 5 sticks you want to own, in order of preference:
1) XP80
2) Malik Sher
3) Blank Bats B20
4) CA 5000 (based on the cheapest performing sticks thread)
5) Newbery Merlin ('cos I like the stickers)
-
Yeah Fattus ...get a c.a plus 5000 ! Ive even seen some blank c.a rejects lately that looked the goods . If you take your time you'll find good sticks in 5000/8000 ranges for sure .
Next 5 bats wishlist :
1 xp80
2 ceat hitman
3 b&s black edition
4 impala pendulum
5 c.a ms big bang

I am quite keen on the new adidas softs, but as for bats, I would love another Robert Pack bat and a B3 bat and just for good measure a Chase, but I am well stocked right now.

Me too, but for some reason, I feel guilty for liking Adidas cricket gear (shoes and whites aside)
The Elite stuff really is good, but I can't bring myself to spend over £100 on pads.
-
It's not really specific bats but
CA5000 - cause they seem to be the "in thing in cheap bats"
copy of a bat I already have in a lower grade
copy of another bat i already have in a higher grade
Chase Vortex - used one at the serious cricket event and it was lovely
there isn't another bat i want atm
although my current hunt is for softs as mine are tired so it H4L, GM and a look at the GN stuff. also need a new bag to store my kit. I need so much I can't want anything....;-D
-
I just got a BB, B3 and a SG.
As much as the XP80s are on everyones lists I personally dont like the handles on the XPs or Kabooms. wish they were either really oval and thin like the laver handles or thicker.
i am keen on upgrading to a bigger and better B3 beluga with a few changes or something completely different. GN Gem looks a sneaky buy.
I have to sell to buy unfortunately....
-
Custom SS made bats with specific players profiles like the VK one if possible ;)
and a H4L custom low density monster still waiting... (Maybe not sure if no word in a month or so)
-
At the moment only thing missing is a nice huge and light BB for me, other than that I am very happy with my bats that I have.
-
GN legend would have brought one already but my 2017 season weather permiting is 14 matches max
-
1. Chase Vortex - what a bat this is. Pick up is unbelievable, I almost bought one weighing 2.15!
2. SS Gladiator
3. A CA SM-18 - @Cover_Drive can you help a brother out?
4. Something Packy with the Heritage stickers
5. A Canadian willow bat. A Travis Head GM
-
As I'm considering starting again with this season I have 5 options:
Keep using my newbery
Swap back to h4l
Get total new Salix kit
Get total new chase kit
And I have a soft spot for the gm 808 range this yeah so a chrome and mana with matching softs
Not really a shopping list well 3 of them are
-
1. Top End BlankBats.
2. Gunn & Moore Ross Taylor Players Edition
3. Laver & Wood Signature
@Alvaro - not too sure on SM-18 model but certainly can help a dear brother with a CA, but can obviously try SM-18 too! Canadian willow, hmm!
-

1) I really wanted a B3 Pepsi or Warner replica but they have sold out of oversized clefts and are not going to get any more in due to the new MCC Regs (DAMN YOU MCC :( )
2) Gray Nics Big bat (Any will do with Warner being first)
3) Laver & Wood High middled mega
4) B3 Tonto
5) Replica of IMO the best shape ever GM Icon!
-
1) Salix raw (fell in love with one at vitas)
2) BAS bow 20/20 players edition

I quite like those msr raunchy stickers too .
-
H4L 50/50
Anything from Keeley Cricket
Red Ink Custom - only heard good things
-
1. SS (I have an older version LE which is my match bat)
2. A GM 808 Mana or Neon (seem to be great value from what I have seen on here)
3. An UZI bat. (Feedback seems to be great from those that have them)
4. A B3
-
Next up for me will certainly be a Robert pack in think the other 4:
Keeley bat
Big GN probably a halestorm
H4L haven't had one in quite a while
SS or SG
-
I particularly want to buy soonish:
- A Chase, one of the lower middle shapes
- An experimental short blade/extra long handle bat, been umming and ahhing about who to get to make it for a while
- A new Aldred
I'd also love to try a TK and a Rob Pack, never owned or knowingly used either. And one day a Robertsbridge custom GN Nemesis because I know my current Nemesis won't last forever :(
-
And one day a Robertsbridge custom GN Nemesis
This too!
-

A lighter nice looking RS Bat
Top Grade SS/Ton
Kranzbuhler bat
Nemesis
-
1.gn velocity
2.ss but only direct sorry no shop ones.

Any five of Simon mays latest acquisitions would more than do nicely
Not bothered which ones, but then I'd probably be too afraid to use them in case I damaged em
Laver
H4l
Scat
Tk
SS /Robinson /ca
Same wish list I've had since joining this forum
-
Managed to free up some space over the winter so I've just got my 2 RPC's now so I'm after a grade 2 bat either a Aldred prestige, custom red ink, H4L NV/fifty50 can anybody recommend any of these ?

Got an Aldred supreme, custom red ink and h4l NV. All are great though the best value for money and performance overall is the red ink in my opinion. The NV comes close though.
-
Shopping wise:
1. Chase volante r4
2. CA 5000
3. Salix Praestantia (regret selling mine though got top money for it), or Pod or Torque
4. A big kippax
5. An old Puma 5000 or above
-
Wanting to clearout a few bats. I have a Cor3, Uzi, CA 10,000 and a Hunts Players grade custom waiting to be approved. Shameless plug.
But if or when I go shopping again there's a few things on my wish list in no particular order.
Laver Special Reserve
Aldred Spectre (so long as Paul doesn't get miffed I want a bat at a actual weight and not a pickup one)
B3 Scat copy
H4L 50/50
Xp80
-
As of now just a Laver & Wood MEGA (Mid-Lo) in Special Reserve. I regret selling one now i want it again.
-
One of those bats that stops me getting out..... Any available?
On a more serious note, I keep looking at my current bats and I think that I have too many and need no more. I think I need some CBF counselling.
-
In no particular order:
1. A B3 Shan Masood or Beluga profile
2. A Rob Pack stunner
3. GN XP80
4. GN Legend Gold
5. GM Chrome LE, or a GM Players Edition
Finally got my hands on a Trott profiled B3 and a Warner GN, otherwise those would probably be on the list somewhere. Chances are, I won't get any of these and somehow impulsively buy a stunning low grade GM off Vitas or something like that. :-[
-
1) SS Gladiator
2) SS Maximus
3) SG Players Edition
4) MB Malik LE or Bubber Sher
5) NB 1080

Blasphemy! Sacrilege! Be gone evil one !
.... but yes , i feel like i need cbf councelling too . I said it before , we should start a confession /councelling thread ie "hi , I'm Shayne and I have a cricket bat problem" . We could then post up photos of all our 'sins' ... um , i mean bats , and get things off our chest and begin the healing process! :( :D

Wouldn't that be a bit like going to the pub for an AA meeting?

Yes , yes indeed... i suppose it would be . But who else would listen , who else would better understand . Ultimately, it would create a thread with photos of ridiculous bat collections which would be cool to look at and compare ( one place to look , drool , laugh at our own excess etc ). I have 14 bats , just about to buy two more next week , with plans to buy two more shortly after . That will be 18 bats ... and I wouldn't come close to comparing with the simonmays , chads , ursmastis etc of the forum .
