I am looking for a pro-level bat ideally low-mid sweet spot and ideally suited for power hitting. Any advice or recommendations?

I thought everyone was sponsored to the tune of 20% these days... ;)

I am not sponsored and hence looking to source one myself.

1. Tim Keeley bat in the shape of Newbery Blitz.
2. Tim Keeley bat in the shape preferred by Joe Root.

GM Noir OLE or players addition
H4L custom as he makes for Kent county plus a few associate nation International players.
Or by 5 GM signature bats for the same price as “pro blade” bat as doubt it will make any difference either way to how many runs you score. Or get a couple of custom made bats from any of the forum sponsors who all make great bats
-
Well I usually get my top notch bat from forum sponsors. @Butterfingerz or @Blank Bats should be able sort you out.
-
Get in touch with blank bats, I picked one up a week or so back. Best bat I've used without a doubt.
-
I'd start with....what exactly do you mean by pro-level?

Get hold of a pro and try to buy his bat. May cost you a bit more and you may need some luck, but that will be an authentic "pro-level bat".
It's another story that you may not like the weight, balance, feel and pick-up because every person has a different muscle strength, and ligament flexibility.
Playing with Kohli's bat will not make you play like Kohli.

Where are you located @WK_85 ? It might be best to call round to see your local batmaker, get some advice and select a cleft that suits.

Got a cracker if your looking for one

The florescent green grip on your Grifton bats, do you sell those grips?
-
Vulcan it would be interesting to see what you have mate. Based in UAE at the moment.
-
What's your budget? Do you want sharpie one?
-
I can make something up to specs if you are interested. I’m not going to make some unjustified claims that I make for this pro or that pro but the bats are good and feedback has been positive. Plenty of reviews on here as a guide

what pro player bats are they?
-
If I had pro level ability would it matter?
-
Having had a bat that was destined for a pro.. my thoughts...
- All pros have different preferences and set ups
- you may end up with a nice looking bat.. but is the handle shape right for you? The pick up?
- the pro may have got it for a specific tour...
- some pros like heartwood... where some brands would grade such bats grade 2 or below..
Personally you are better of getting something custom to you... after all that is what a pro would do...
I'd never buy a pro bat again personally but I can see the allure..
-
A pro would also be physically different from even very good club player - weights, daily practise, diet. So could potentially handle a heavier bat.
-
WK if you are still looking for a bat probably
-chase master
-ca player edition
-newbery legacy
hope this helps
-
B3 all day long and you get be involved in the design process.

hawk cricket is the only place.....bairstow, root, ian bell, ateeq javid, samit patel all use their bats (according to the bat maker who showed pictures of them visiting and taking his bats)

Think you will find Hawk isn't the only place. No doubt Hawk make quality bats and pros do use their bats, but to say they are the only place...?
-
Hawk Cricket used to have a nice web site. This current web site is a nightmare.
-
Jonny Bairstow must go through some bats!
Hunts County could probably make something remarkably similar to a Newbery Legacy, at half the price or less.
-
There have been some wanky threads started on this forum, but this one takes the biscuit.
-

Agreed. Not sure there is a bat out there good enough to make me persevere with a website so bad
-
You should say that to hawk’S owner face like theres no point being 2faced🤷♀️
-
Oh dear!

I've heard the same from a bat maker. The cricketers now are much stronger and fitter, happily have 2.10 + lb bats and not necessarily ultra light bats. Seen more than a few interviews where bat pickup is preferred over dead weight.
PS I'm still impressed with the way the ping ball back to the keeper when fielding, whereas I'd get a sore shoulder with a weak throw :D
-
I would say that the amateur form the 90s used a far heavier bat than the overwhelming majority of pros do today. These days the focus seems to be on bat speed
-
I don't know the bat weight used by Bairstow or Jason Roy. I guess it is 2-10 to 2-11. BUT, and this is a big but, both Roy and Bairstow are fitter, stronger, and bigger than an average clubbie. Proportionally, and by that I mean strength wise, Roy and Bairstow are also using lighter bats. Same for J Butler. Let me clarify, for their fitness and strength level, a 2-10/2-11 bat is light hence the whippy bat speed.
I look at Bairstow's shots and I wonder how he is generating all that power! His shot is a short arm slap and no follow thru as in NO full-blooded swing. Things that make you go 'hmmmm'.
-
i think ur underestimating the players that play a very good standard like myself

Ok. Are you better or as good as Butler, Roy, and Bairstow? Got any videos discussing modern batting technique and power hitting? Info on technique?
-
i've clean bowled wasim jaffer in the nets....leading run scorer in ranji trophy so i dont think butler or bairstow will be hard lol

So, you are an up and coming cricket phenom. Good for you.
Back to my original question: modern batting technique.
What's up with the off-stump guard?
What's the mindset behind the off stump guard and your area of operation? The way I see it, you play in the area one yard outside the popping crease and few inches outside off stump to a:) avoid lbw; b:) pick off balls in the channel.
How to develop that power hitting short arm jab so beautifully deployed by Bairstow?
How to find the right bat weight for your body size and strength level?
What's the full body workout routine to develop that kind of power displayed by Butler and co.?
-
dont think too much... i just see the ball and hit ball like andre russell lol
-
im ripped bro already and im 6'3
-
That's not very helpful, is it.
You are a big, strong dude but you can't talk about techniques that a clubbie can use to improve.
-
u can feed me long hops tho lol
-
Better than what you're feeding everyone on here :D
-
Always need abit of drama on the forum everyone seems too serious these days lol
-

If I am right you are left hand bowler. If that's correct then I have played against you. And standards we played were not the way you boosting
-
Getting me mixed up with someone else probably
-
I play 1st team
-
In the staffs league?
-
No in the dummy league🙄
-
Get a room?
-
I cant i was busy hitting 353*
-
Hi @Modern.Maharaj you should really get urself a hawk and then maybe you can hit a triple ton instead of only hitting double tons
-
You average 25 in your first team after a few season, with no league tons, which suggests a certain good level, but not quite as amazing as you make out.
If you scored 353 today that is truly exceptional. Congratulations, that will be a lifetime best and almost certainly will be the highest score made in club cricket this summer across all matches.
-
Many seasons when I haven't managed that as my total runs, Buzz :o
Take more pleasure as a Captain now... not batting or bowling but making sure everyone else gets a game.
-
Do you offer coaching @TheFlipper?
-
@jonny77 £25/hr which is alot cheaper than monty panesars £100 an hour whos looking to make a comeback to get a professional contract he told me
-
I'll speak to Monty :D

If you dont like keep scrolling?

I do...But you keep showing off on many threads. A bowler bowling out jaffer and hitting 300+ not out. Got a proof?
-
You sound like a serious player @TheFlipper, with all of these accomplishments you've no doubt got a pretty handy sponsorship arrangement from one of the big brands, Surely the OP could buy one or your bats which is no doubt pro quality timber and since you're probably getting bats for free because you're just that good, you can make some profit! Problem solved.

Knowing my own game as I do, hitting me on the pads seems more likely.
