I thought it would be fun to start a thread with pictures of the first bat you bought on the forum...
I have just moved house so have been finding/rehiding cricket stash all over the place and found this beast... an original SAF bat, the first "Genus" shape. This is a big lump of a bat which I scored a lot of runs with...
This one had a refub and still looks brand new, despite being 10 years old..!

I've not got any pictures (or the bat anymore) but i had a H4L Devil that i would wager was the best looking devil ever produced.
Right place right time and all that there's a thread on it somewhere!!

Eventually a Redback Allegiance Limited Edition. I had paid for a Grade 1, but the amount of time it took to arrive led to an upgrade, allegedly to a Cosgrove cleft.
It is still going, having sold it to my mate Dan. He likes it.

In true CBF style my first forum bat was bough, used by me a couple of times, leant to a teammate, claimed back and used a bit more, sold on and used to death by a teammate!
It was a Woodstock Tour De Force, then refurbed as a Neon but I think it ended it's life as a "New Balance" once my teammate got his hands on it

This was mine....
... and so started my cycle of using a bat a handful of times and then having a paddy when I wasn't instantly awesome as a result and finding the next cure for all my batting woes 🙈

That’s a nice looking X2!

No pictures anymore as lost my photobucket account when they wanted you to pay for it.
My first forum bat was a Vulcan, actually used it for quite a while before the forum obsession with buying and selling for a loss took over lol. After the Vulcan I had a Hammer Core LE from IJC and that was a lovely stick

I believe my first purchase from a forumite was a lovely H4L NV which I purchased from @SOULMAN1012 on eBay - a bat I regret swapping with @Chalkie at the CBF net

I genuinely can't remember, but I suspect I bought some sort of Talisman from Walter Mitty.

Back when we used to net at dummer as a warm up for the mixed grille in the pub afterwards....ah memories.
Screaming cat Premium was prob my earliest purchase, never used it tho as ended up with a pro in a swap deal with Roco.

@velvetsky01 if that was the NV Pro than that’s top of my “regret I sold it list” was huge and so light, can’t remember who’s it was know, think it was Brendon Nash when he was at Kent. If it was a G2 that was also a very good bat
