I like the giant.

All beautiful, but especially like the Velocity, beautiful shape.

Loving the Velocity! Where did you get that from and what does it weigh?

What do you like about the Atomic? Bat speed? Sweet spot? Balance? Details please.

Can't believe no-one has posted any of these yet...

@InternalTraining largest sweetspot, picks up extremely well for the weight. Highly recommend it

Secret hoarder @Chad . You kept them quiet or did I miss something? Not jealous at all, honest.

Ohhh what is the ultrabow like? Tossing up between that or a kronus for this season.
-
For me the kronus is the favourite a pre-production special by Stu , looking fwd to using the marsh atomic as well , it is a sweet bat , just lovely & light , the ultrabow is beautiful also , these were scrapped initially & replaced by the superbow , hence why they are not on the website , or at major retailers , although in saying that some have slipped through.
-
You want to have some fun , buy a giant , no low density special pickup here , just a brute of a bat , 35mm toe , 28mm shoulder , mine is just under 3lb , caveman would use it to find a wife.

Organized this for a good customer of mine, took around 3 months to find the perfect piece, 2.10.

it was worth the wait for the lucky customer!

What a waste. So many pristine looking bats.
Harsh, but I have to admit I was thinking the same.
-
Waste? This guy loves and collects bats, no different to someone who collects nice watches or similar.
-
I love seeing his collection!!
My mate is on his way to Australia now, I’m thinking of getting him to bring me a giant back

Now bat collections are a no no.
Show us your...envy

And now differences of opinion are now a no no?
@sarg do you think the bat maker would prefer these scoring runs or sitting in a collection now matter how impressive it is?

Can the double use of now be a no no?
Now now no no ......
Honestly my opinion is people should be allowed to do whatever they please, without having people they’ve never met on the internet have a pop at them.
Buy all the bats and use them, buy all the bats and look at them. Your call.
Same with toys, cars, etc etc.
If you don’t agree with that, no need to call it a waste, or a shame etc. Just move on.

hmmm interesting , what makes you think they have not been used , for the record 8 out of the 11 have had a hit in games , when not in the middle they are cleaned & put in their covers.
Wax used on the back & two coats of oil on the face , extratek applied & all are refurbed between seasons.
You wonder why people don't post what they have , looks like i have to post pics of the bats in use & at rest to justify owning them , @Number4 has personally used 6 of these , feel free to ask his feedback.

Depends on the bat maker I guess. Some bats are some shamelessly overdried I’d think they would go the later :D
That said, I possibly will collect bats when I stop playing. i hear Tim Keeley has a good collection too.

Thanks Marc , but i think all my future insights & additions will be via "cricket bat geeks" , great bunch of fellow collectors that appreciate special english willow.
(https://s22.postimg.cc/dl4pa65qp/20180818_221755.jpg) posts here would probably call these a waste as well & yes all have been used.
-
Fantastic collections can be admired and envied at the same time. Surely no harm in that and in my opinion it is great they’re being used.
I think we’re all stating the obvious, opinions divide opinions. No need to get offended.

Make a wish stickers: you wished for more bats?

T20 contracts good $$ to give to charity, good advertising. Had never really noticed what stickers there were, asumed they covered ton branding/engraving.

The omega and powerbow have interesting toes, look like Chris lynn how he chopped an inch off the toe. They also have different shoulders which slope down more than other kb bats. Interested to hear the story of these

Cant find cricket bat geeks place, google finds video of someone who knocked her tooth lose with a bat accident..
Re use/no use. It's all good, bouncing ball on the collection is good times; interactive ornaments, some have storys etc. I've found once ive got more than three bats i scoring well with i dont use the others(one each for low&high bounce pitches, and a sledgehammer for pinch hitting). There isnt really a shortage for anyone, anyone can have a gn custom made if they desire, so i dont see what the problem is:D.. Also even if people use their bats, how much use/runs do they really get. Going by the logic of not using is a waste, only domestic and above should have access to good willow, and lower grades shld use kashmir/g4

I agree completely: CricketBat Geeks is a fantastic group to be a part of! I thought i was into bats but am put to shame with the collections and knowledge of the members!

Tbh I didnt know the requirement to qualify for the wish, and agree its a really heartwarming cause for very sad and unfair situations.
Under different circumstances, say gene in a bottle, I anticipate ozziecollector would use three wishes gn bats as far as the eye can see -( this may have already occured )
